In
Ireland you do not need a
licence to fish for trout, coarse species or in the sea. However, if you
intend to fish for salmon
or seatrout you must have a State Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing Licence.
No license required for brown
trout fishing except for the Upper Shannon region where a local co-operative
share certificate is required. Elsewhere, anglers are encouraged to
purchase a voluntary share certificate in order to contribute towards fishery
development in the region.
State
Salmon and Sea Trout Licences are available as a National licence or a District
Licence. A National Licence covers all Fishery Board Districts while a District
Licence covers only the Fishery District in which the licence is purchased. A list of fishing
tackle shops where licences may be bought is available on this site. Alternatively
you can buy a licence online. It should be noted that a licence does not
confer the right to fish for salmon or sea trout and that permission or permits
are required to fish most waters.
Anglers in the Shannon Region
must have a Shannon Board Permit (ticket charge) to fish for trout, pike or
coarse fish in the Midland Fisheries Group of controlled
waters. This area
comprises the following river catchments; RIVER SUCK, RIVER INNY, RIVER BROSNA,
LITTLE BROSNA RIVER and CAMLIN RIVER. This
permit can be bought online. This permit is not required to fish the main
River Shannon or other fisheries whose fishing rights are NOT under the control
of the Shannon Board.
Anglers
are legally required to be in possession of a licence when fishing for salmon or sea trout. Licences can be purchased from a
number of sources, including fishing tackle shops, Regional Fisheries Boards
and some fisheries.
On
purchasing a licence anglers receive a copy of the Salmon Angling Regulations
which provides information on bag limits, mandatory catch and release
fisheries, open and closed fisheries, gill tags and how to return your
completed logbook and tags. Licences can be purchased for periods from 1 day to
1 year.
A licence
does not confer the right to fish; a fishing permit is usually required and
must be obtained separately. A fishing permit generally costs from €20 to €50
per day. Some of the more exclusive fisheries can be more expensive.
