The Avoca River

CLOSED TO ANGLING FOR ALL SALMON AND FOR SEA TROUT OVER 40CM for 2008. Catch and release for all other sea trout only.

The Avoca River rises at the foot of the Wicklow mountains and flows in a south easterly direction through a spectacular landscape for approximately 35 miles before entering the Irish Sea at Arklow. In its upper reaches it is made up of the major tributaries of the Avonmore and Avonbeg Rivers. The Avoca river proper starts at the meeting of the waters 1.5 miles upstream of Avoca and is joined in its lower reaches by the Aughrim River.

Bye-law No. 824, 2007 prohibits the use of any fish hooks, other than single barbless hooks, and the use of worms as bait in angling for all species of fish in the Rivers Avoca, Owenavorragh and Slaney.
