First 2026 draw open until April 30

Inland Fisheries Ireland is running a lottery for ‘brown tags’ associated with Kerry’s Roughty River.

Brown tag regulations apply to the Roughty River catchment until August 31st, 2026, after which the catchment will revert to catch and release only fishing until the season ends.

Anglers who win a brown tag via the lottery draw can catch and keep a wild Atlantic salmon, or a sea trout, caught at the river.

Entries to the first draw can be submitted until midnight on Thursday April 30, via this webpage. The first draw will take place on Thursday May 5th.
