Saturday saw great sport down river with grilse ranging from 5lbs to 8lbs caught on the shrimp. Rob Smith and Jason Nash were successful on the fly yesterday afternoon catching a salmon each on the fly. Well done to all.

Go fishing…

The River Bandon is a most scenic and prolific game fishing river flowing through some of the most picturesque country side in West Cork. It’s source is a few miles north west of Dunmanway from where it flows through that town and and on through the villages of Ballineen, Enniskeane, Kilcoleman, Bandon and Innishannon where it become tidal and widens into an estuary before meeting the sea past Kinsale.
