The Lingaun River is a scenic stream flowing through the border country of Kilkenny and Tipperary in Ireland's Ancient East. Rising in the foothills of Slievenamon (Sliabh na mBan), the river meanders through a series of historic townlands and villages — Grangemockler, Killamery, Knockroe, Tullahought, Ahenny, Kilmacoliver, Faugheen, and Kilkieran — before joining the River Suir at Tybroughney, just downstream from Ormond Castle near Carrick-on-Suir. As a tributary of the Suir system, the Lingaun is part of one of Ireland's most celebrated salmon and trout river networks, offering anglers a quieter, more intimate alternative to the main stem while still benefiting from the same rich fish populations and conservation framework.

Always check property boundaries and applicable regulations before visiting. onWater's Public & Private Land layer can help you plan your access with confidence.

The lower reaches of the Lingaun near its confluence with the River Suir at Tybroughney are particularly productive for migratory fish, as salmon and sea trout moving upstream from the Suir will hold in the pools and runs of this section. The middle valley stretches through Ahenny and Tullahought offer classic brown trout water with a good mix of habitat. Any deeper pools along the river's course are worth targeting, especially during warmer, lower-water conditions when fish seek refuge in cooler, oxygenated depths.
