FISHERY DESCRIPTION: Poolboy or better known as the Mill of Poolboy is on the River Suck near Ballinasloe. This was developed by the Central and Shannon Regional Fisheries Board back in the 1990's. The Ballinasloe Chamber of Commerce after much consultation with the Office of Public Works commenced a navigation project back then to allow cruiser traffic to navigate from the confluence of the River Suck which is located downstream of Shannonbridge up to Ballinasloe town. The works necessitated the removal of the salmon fords at Correen and the stretch known as Reilly's ford. Fisheries staff drew up plans in collaboration with the stakeholders to provide this as an alternative fishery in compensation. These works were fully completed in the late 1990's providing an angling stretch of circa 650 meters in length, consisting of six fishing pools. Please Observe Our Country Code and Fisheries Laws. Anglers are requested to always observe our country code
