Fishing near Newbridge, Co. Kildare

Newbridge sits on the River Liffey in County Kildare, and it is this river that defines the local fishing scene. Below Pollaphuca Reservoir, the Liffey flows through the limestone plains of Kildare and becomes a productive trout river, with Newbridge itself named as one of the key stretches for fly fishing. The River Barrow, roughly 18 km away, extends the options further.
