THE FISHERY

Click on thumbnail map to launch a larger map

Kilnacarrow is a very secluded area located approximately 3 kms upstream of Lanesboro on the River Shannon. The area fishes best from April to October. It can also fish very well for Roach during the winter and spring months given suitable water levels and conditions. Present are quality Bream, Roach, Hybrids and some Tench, especially productive during the summer. Ledger fishing at a long cast is likely to produce the best results. During high summer boat traffic can be a nuisance and can upset fishing here.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

About 20 swims are located below the Bord na Mona Bridge on open bank.

TO GET THERE

From Lanesboro take the Strokestown R 371 road at the Sliabh Ban Hotel for about 3 kms. You will locate a small road to the right which will bring you down to the Bord na Mona Bridge where parking is available.
