Fishing near Ferns, Co. Wexford

Ferns sits in north County Wexford, close to the River Slaney and the smaller River Bann, which joins the Slaney a few miles north of Enniscorthy. The area is primarily known for river fishing — sea trout and brown trout on the Bann, and the broader Slaney system for salmon and trout. Wexford Harbour, where the Slaney meets the Irish Sea, adds a productive shore angling dimension with flounder, bass, and mullet among the most sought-after species.
