New byelaw closes brown and sea trout fishing early in the lower Lee

Anglers in Cork are reminded of a new byelaw which extends the close season for brown and sea trout fishing in the lower Lee.

The close season for brown trout angling in the lower Lee (downstream of Inniscarra Dam and all tributaries and waters flowing into those tributaries)  is 1^st October to 14^th February, and for sea trout 1^st October to 31^st January, all dates inclusive. Previous close date was 12^th October.

This is a result of the introduction of Byelaw no. 1009 of 2024 in March of this year
