Fishing near Castleconnell, Co. Limerick

Castleconnell sits on the River Shannon about 11 km northeast of Limerick City, and its name is synonymous with one of Ireland's most prestigious salmon fisheries.

Pike fishing is also available upstream of the main salmon beats, and the nearby Mulkear River adds further angling variety to the area.
