trout and salmon fishing clonmel area

The Suir provides excellent Trout fishing throughout the season which starts in March and ends in September. Average Weight: 1/2 lb, 3/4lb, 2, 3 and 4 lb. Trout are recorded each season, but not in any great numbers. Mostly Fly Fishing is best, any legal method is allowed on most stretches. Best months are from April on when the evening Rise starts. Trout will start to feed about an hour and a half before dusk and continue to rise until about an hour after dark. SALMON Salmon fishing has been on the decline over the past number of seasons (mainly due to drift netting at sea with mono filament nets which are illegal for Salmon fishing). However, some fairly good runs of Atlantic Salmon still manage to enter the Suir from June until the end of September when the season ends. Fishing is provided by local fishing clubs and private fishing owners.
