Or another one: Oh not again ...! here.

If you would like to join our nature club, please contact us.  Thanks.

Although the river is open this year, for catch and release of salmon and sea trout, many beats will be virtually closed.  Even Tullow Anglers have voted to restrict fishing so that stocks can replenish.  Our beat will be closed for all fishing, except to visiting tourists, who should abide by national regulations.  The Eastern Region Fisheries Board has more information here.
