Fishing near Birr, Co. Offaly

Birr sits in County Offaly at the heart of Ireland's midlands, where the Camcor River runs directly through the town before joining the Little Brosna. Within a short drive lie the River Shannon, the River Brosna, and the great lough of Lough Derg — making this one of the more quietly productive inland angling areas in the country. The Camcor is locally famous for its migratory 'Croneen' trout, a strain of brown trout unique to the Birr area, while the wider Shannon system draws anglers after pike, perch, roach, and bream.
