Waterway

Location:

The River Nore rises in Co. Tipperary and flows eastwards through Borris-in-Ossory and then south through Co. Kilkenny, passing through or close by the towns of Durrow, Ballyragget, Kilkenny, Bennettsbridge and Thomastown to join the River Barrow upstream of New Ross.

County: Tipperary
Fish: Pike ()
Description:
Catch:Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout.

It is tidal from Inistioge River with very rich fly life. Much of the catchment is given over to tillage, pastureland, and bloodstock. Mill weirs are a feature of the river, and these give rise to long, deep stretches and slow-flowing water. The banks are high in places, and there is an excessive amount of tree cover and vegetation in many places, which makes fishing difficult.

Season:

Salmon and Sea Trout: 1st February to 30th September.

Methods:

All legal methods. No live bait with Pike fishing.

Cost: Coarse fishing is free. For other costs contact The Fishery Manager, Mount Juliet House
