There are several weirs and locks and also quiet canal stretches. The River Nore is also good for fishing. Fishing on the River Barrow Good Pike are found from Bagenalstown all the way down to the tidal waters at St Mullins. The best time is winter but summer is also good. At Tinnahinch, the other side of the river, there is a good stock of small Rudd and Perch. From Tinnahinch, for a 2 mile stretch down river, Bream can be found. The quiet canal waters also hold Rudd, and some Tench. Good fishing is to be had at the St Mullin’s lock canal section. Just downstream from Clashganny weir, 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Graiguenamanagh, is a first-class stretch for specimen fish, i.e. Bream, Tench, Rudd, Hybrids, Perch and Pike. There is good Bream fishing in the fast water at the weir itself. Bream fishing is good from May to late September, while Rudd is excellent in summer .Tench are best in May and June.
