the river derry and derry water river

Fishing available: Salmon and Brown Trout. The River Derry rises near Knockananna village (7 miles north of Tinahely) and flows southwards through Tinahely, Shillelagh and Clonegal to meet the River Slaney near Kildavin. It holds occasional salmon and small brown trout and is an important spawning and nursery river for the River Slaney salmon. The controlling club is the Derry and District Angling Club. The Derry Water river is a separate tributary which rises near Tinahely and flows north-eastwards to form the Aughrim River west of Aughrim village.
