Extract from the Southern Fisheries Region Brochure:
Game Fishing The River Suir, which flows over limestone, holds good stocks of brown trout and the region between Ardfinnan and Carrick on Suir frequently offers impressive salmon fishing. The river has been described by eminent angling journalists as 'an anglers' paradise'. Many of its tributaries particularly the Drish, Multeen, Ara, Tar, Nire and Anner produce superb trout angling.
