The River Feale (An Fhéil in Irish) is widely regarded as one of Ireland's outstanding salmon and sea trout rivers, winding 75 kilometres (approximately 46 miles) from its headwaters near Rockchapel in the Mullaghareirk Mountains of County Cork, northwestward through County Limerick and County Kerry before emptying into Cashen Bay, a wide estuary north of Ballyduff, where it ultimately merges with the River Shannon's estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. Set along the Wild Atlantic Way, the Feale flows through a picturesque and varied landscape of bogland, fertile valleys, and rolling hills. In a productive season, the river is estimated to yield at least 1,500 salmon and grilse and well over 2,000 sea trout to rod and line. Along with its tributaries — including the Smearlagh, Galey, Brick, Allaghaun, and Owveg rivers — the Feale catchment encompasses over 160 kilometres (100 miles) of waterways, offering anglers an exceptional range of fishing environments.
