WHERE TO FISH  

There are a number of fishing venues situated around the centre. The main Shannon runs adjacent to Tarmonbarry village with swims located upstream and downstream of the bridge. There is also the Camlin River to the east and the Feorish River to the west.  This guide describes these fisheries  in some detail and provides angling notes. We hope you find these useful 

A fish stock survey conducted in 2003 published in April 2004 indicates that the area of the River Shannon from Drumsna to Rooskey supports a large and healthy stock of coarse fish dominated by Roach / Bream hybrids, Roach, Perch and Bream in that order. Relatively small numbers of Tench, Pike, Rudd and trout were encountered in the surveyed sections. A copy of the report Entitled:  "Status of fish stocks on the River Shannon between Roosky and Drumsna" can be requested in hard copy by emailing the angling section to info@shannon-fishery-board.ie
