Fishing near Graiguenamanagh, Co. Kilkenny

Graiguenamanagh sits on the River Barrow in County Kilkenny, where the river broadens into wide glides and deep weir pools before reaching its tidal stretch at St Mullins. The town has been a fishing centre since the Cistercian monks of Duiske Abbey prized its salmon and eels in the 13th century. Today the Barrow draws both game and coarse anglers, and the nearby River Nore adds further trout and salmon water within easy reach.
