Stay & Fish

Stay & Fish Books

Fishing Journals & Travel Guides

Full-colour printed books created around Ireland’s fishing waters.

More than a fishing guide

Printed books for days by the water

Stay & Fish is an independent fishing guide, journal and travel companion series created and published by Darren Bradley.

Stay & Fish Fishing Journals & Travel Guides are full-colour print-on-demand books created around Ireland’s fishing waters. Each brings together practical fishing information, local knowledge, places and context around the water, seasonal guidance and dedicated journal space for recording your own days, catches and memories.

They are physical books, not downloadable digital guides, and are available to buy through Amazon. Made to travel with you, they work as practical fishing and travel companions before a trip and as personal records worth returning to afterwards.
