Anglers will be happy to hear that angling on the Ballysadare River system has reopened as of today.
Bye-law 1012, 2024 revokes the Conservation of Salmon and Sea Trout Ballysadare (Closed Rivers) Bye-Law No. 336, 2024, which had closed the system to all angling. The new bye law provides for catch and release in respect of salmon and sea trout (over 40 cm) in the Ballysadare river in the year 2024. The Bye-law also prohibits the use of any fish hooks other than single barbless hooks and prohibits the use of worms as bait in angling for salmon and sea trout (over 40 cm).
