Fishing near Cork, Co. Cork

Cork city sits at the tidal reaches of the River Lee, giving anglers immediate access to one of Ireland's most productive salmon and trout rivers, as well as a web of tributaries — the Shournagh, Blarney, Dripsey and Bride — draining into the Lee catchment. Coarse fishing on Inniscarra Lake, just upstream, draws bream and rudd anglers, while Cork Harbour and the wider County Cork coastline extend the options to bass, mullet, flounder, shark and wrasse.
