Paul and Bob arrive in the Republic of Ireland, and they're kicking off their all-out Irish fishing trip on the River Finn. It's their first time fishing the rivers of both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.\n\nThey're here to catch Irish salmon, and luckily, they’re in one of the best places to do so. The Emerald Isle has some of the most prolific river runs for salmon in western Europe, and its wet climate provides some of the best conditions for salmon fishing.
