Fishing near Kilrush, Co. Clare

Kilrush sits on the southern edge of County Clare where the Shannon Estuary meets the Atlantic approaches of the Loop Head Peninsula. The town's own Cappa Pier is a practical shore mark, while Poulnasherry Bay at nearby Moyasta draws anglers for estuary species. The Doonbeg River and Annageeragh River are the principal local salmon and trout waters, and the coastline running toward Kilkee adds rock, cliff and pier fishing for a wide range of sea species.
