THE FISHERY

Clonburren Callows is  about two miles upstream from Shannonbridge on the west bank and Devenish Island is a well known angling stretch along here. Upstream are a number of favoured pegs. Remember that this is callow land flooded in winter and generally only used for one hay crop. Talk to the farmers if you meet them and they might direct you to the most recent producing swim. Bream, Roach, Rudd, Hybrid, Perch and Pike await with the odd tench present. Access to the opposite bank is difficult but if you have a boat there are a few productive bays.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

This is an open bank venue with access off the Shannonbridge - Athlone  road

TO GET THERE

From Shannonbridge take the Ballinasloe road for about  2 miles. Turn right in the direction of Athlone. Continue for about 3 miles, turn off at Falty old school house and soccer pitch and drive behind a hill range on your right for over a mile until you get to the end of the hilly area. The road tends to sweep around the hill here. There is a track straight ahead which brings you down to into 20 yards of the river. The Cappaleitra stretch can be accessed by taking a right off this track.
