The Barrow Suir Nore Estuary is a significant transitional waterbody located in County Wexford, Ireland, where the three major rivers—the Barrow, Nore, and Suir—converge before flowing into Waterford Harbour and the Celtic Sea. This expansive estuarine system is characterized by its tidal influence, mixing of freshwater and saltwater, and a complex network of channels and shoals. It serves as a vital ecological zone and a productive fishing ground, supporting a diverse community of marine and estuarine fish species. The estuary's water quality is generally considered to be of moderate status.

Productive fishing locations are found where there is a change in depth or structure that attracts and holds fish. Key areas include the channels and shoals, such as the Passage East Shoal and the Duncannon Channel, which are known features within the estuary. These areas provide ambush points and feeding stations. Confluences where the main river flows meet, and areas near quays and piers like Passage East Boathouse Quay, also attract fish.
