Cahir Angling Association
The town of Cahir, built in the River Suir, is a centre of excellence for Brown Trout Fishing. Everyone from the complete beginner to the most experienced fishing enthusiast can pass a very pleasant day by its unspoilt banks. It is renowned as one of Europe’s finest dry fly rivers for wild brown trout. The wild trout found in the Suir need unpolluted, well oxygenated water, clean gravel beds in which to spawn and in-stream plants to provide cover and food. These qualities are found in abundance in the Cahir area.
The Cahir & District Angler’s Association, one of the oldest and finest clubs in Ireland, can help with any questions you may have before or during your trip to Cahir.
