Fethard to New Bridge: Fishing on this stretch of water depends greatly on water levels, a dry summer and you will be confined to fishing the deeper pools, a wet summer and good fishing can be had along all of this stretch.
New Bridge to Thorny Bridge: From where the Little Anner meets the Clashawley to form what we refer to as The Anner, to me is the cream of fishing on club water’s, fast broken water running into deep slow pools. Brilliant dry fly fishing excellent nymph fishing and wet fly fishing a fisherman’s dream come true right under the foot of Slievenamon.
Trout Flys: If you do intend to fish the Clashawley or The Anner sometime, here are some of the best patterns to use. Dry Flies.- B.W.O. Red Quill. Greenwells. Phesants tail. Pale watery. Hawthorn. Nymphs. Gold head hares ear, Gold head pheasant’s tail.
Please Take Note: We would like to ask all our members to practise catch and release this year and in future years to try and maintain the stock of wild brown trout that is in our river. The last thing we want is to have to stock our river with farm reared fish. I am sure this doesn’t appeal to any angler who has caught truly wild browns, so let’s make the effort, it will benefit both us and the fish in the future.
