We regret the announcement of the death of local Angler, Ger o' Mahony. Our deepest sympathies go out to all his family and friends at this difficult time. Well known in the town of bandon and all the waterways he fished throughout this island, Ger was a keen fisherman and had a very quiet and unassuming way about him. You would frequently see him on his bicycle loaded with rod, bag etc heading to the river and returning with the reward of his efforts.

The new mobile contact number for all queries is: 086/3724358

It's hard to beleive that  the 30th of september has finally closed the door on another season. We definately got enough rain to disappoint many who had booked a day off for the final few throws ,   August september fishing seemed to be mixed with some anglers catching their long awaited fish and some didn't!!. If you fit either category, please feel free to sum up your season. 

Hi Folks, dredging has started just below the main bridge. A lot of fishermen may be aware of it at this stage because of the severe discolouration of the water downstream. Looks like the only option is to head up river till seasons end. I will keep you posted on any changes and do feel free to see pictures i have posted on facebook.
