Fishing near Clara, Co. Offaly

Clara sits on the River Brosna in County Offaly, at the heart of Ireland's midland coarse angling country. The Brosna flows directly through the town before joining the Shannon at Shannon Harbour, giving local anglers immediate access to a classic low-gradient midland river. The wider county takes in stretches of the Shannon, the Barrow, and the Little Brosna — a network that supports pike, bream, roach, perch and trout across slow glides, reed margins and floodplain meanders.
