Meelick Fishery

Thingstodo information

The salmon fishing at Meelick on the Shannon is about five miles downstream of Banagher, County Offaly. This fishery is heavily fished at the peak of the season. The fishing is in two parts: the right bank or Eyrecourt side and the left bank or Offaly side. The salmon fishing begins at Meelick around the third week of May, with the peak in the last week of June or early July. Access to the right bank is off the Banagher-Eyrescourt Road at Kinlaborris; access to the left bank is from Banagher, via Lusmagh village to Victoria Lough. A boat is necessary to fish this side and anglers must provide their own.
