Angling in Co. Carlow
The salmon and trout fishing season on the River Barrow commences on March 17 and finishes on September 30. Good trout fishing can be enjoyed at a number of locations on the river and its tributaries. Below the weir in St. Mullins the trout are small (.5lb) but plentiful. The rivers Greese and Lerr, tributaries of the River Barrow can provide excellent trout fishing. September is the best month for salmon fishing with the majority of fish taken below the weir at St. Mullins and some at Borris.
The excellent stocks of quality pike are one of the main attractions for anglers on the River Barrow, with abundant stocks of 20lbs+. Pike angling is carried out on all stretches of the river between Athy and St. Mullins.
Fishing on the River Slaney is mainly private although daily permits to fishing stretches are available to visitors through the Tullow Trout & Salmon Angling Club (visitors are asked to contact Mr. Richard Burgess 059 9151288 - daily permits limited to four per day).
Avail of the special offers in Mount Wolseley Hotel in Carlow for your fishing break.
