It may be poor -for Ireland- but it's a long way from no fish.

Granted you've looked at the report in more detail than I, but a spoken
report form a pal with recent bad experience in trying to find salmon
and sea trout fishing is very convincing.

If anyone wants to get in some serious game fishing then good luck - I
hope you do prove me wrong.

He may have been in one of those midland areas full of bream, rudd and pike
waters but short on trout and salmon. There are very few stocked rainbow
waters btw, except in parts of the SW. In general for brownies, except in
areas close to big towns; if you see a nice piece of water just go fish it.
If there is any problem (exceedingly rare) then you can buy a ticket
retrospectively or merely stop fishing and apologise.

If you do see an obvious riparian owner then go and ask permission, I have
never known it be refused. In my experience they are delighted by the
novelty of being asked.

Salmon, sea trout and where stocked, rainbows do normally require advance
tickets and are usually well keepered.

Cheerio,
