Bunratty River
Arthur's QuayAbout
The Bunratty River enters the Shannon estuary at Bunratty Castle, and provides good sea trout and eel fishing. The salmon and sea trout season in Ireland runs from February 1st to September 30th, and the brown trout season lasts from February 15th to September 30th. Sea trout fishing usually takes place in early June. Salmon and brown trout have only been caught in smaller quantities here but good runs of grilse have been found. There is no fishing allowed between the Mill Weir at Sixmilebridge and above Road Bridge joining Main Street. Fishing is free but inquire at the Tourist Office in Limerick before using the river.
