Fishing near Carlow, Co. Carlow

Carlow town sits on the River Barrow in Ireland's South East, and it is one of the country's most established coarse angling centres. The Barrow — wide, slow and limestone-fed through this stretch — is the main draw, known for bream, roach, dace, perch and pike, with salmon and brown trout also present. The River Slaney lies nearby, managed in part by Tullow Anglers. Southern County Resort near Bagenalstown adds still-water trout and carp fishing to the mix.
