Angling

De-stress and enjoy the well-stocked waters along Ireland’s 1000 km of inland waterways. Popular with game and coarse anglers, they’re open year-round, with no closed season for coarse or pike fishing. There’s an angling competition nearly every week, and numerous free access points for launching boats. Fish for brown trout, perch, tench, bream and many others, or head to Lower Bann for arguably the best trout and salmon fishing. Wheel-chair accessible fishing stands are available along The Grand Canal and Barrow Navigation.
