Fishing near Piltown, Co. Kilkenny

Piltown sits in south Kilkenny, close to the River Suir and within reach of the Nore, the King's River, and several smaller tributaries. The area is primarily known for river fishing — wild brown trout and Atlantic salmon on the Suir and Nore systems, with coarse species including pike, bream, roach, perch, and eel spread across the slower stretches. Ardaire Springs Angling Centre, near Mooncoin, provides stocked stillwater trout fishing with fish well into double figures.
