Fishing


Whether you are looking for excellent coarse fishing, the gentle peace of the trout river, or the exciting pursuit of the noble salmon in the mysterious depths of the Blackwater, North Cork is the place to be.


There is an extensive river system which include the River Blackwater, (the third largest river in Ireland), the Funshion, Araglin & Bride. The River Blackwater has the finest fishing stretches in Ireland for salmon. The Funshion, Araglin and Bride are best for Trout fishing. Unlike salmon and trout fishing, coarse fishing isn’t seasonal and so Knockanannig Reservoir in Fermoy is an all year must!
