Munster - Upper Caragh
Upper Caragh
Co. Kerry
 Atlantic salmon and sea trout run the river throughout the season which extends from 17th January to the end of September. The fishery gets a run of spring salmon, early grilse, summer grilse and summer salmon. Sea trout enter the river from late March/April onwards.
The Angling Season :
The season opens on 17th January. Spring salmonrun the river from early January and he peak of the run occurs during March and April depending on water conditions. The average weight of spring salmon is about 9lb. May heralds the arrival of the early grilse which increase in numbers through June and July. On the Lower Caragh grilse average 5lb. Summer salmon also enter the river during the months of June through August averaging 12lb. The period April through July would be considered by most anglers with a knowledge of the Lower Caragh to be the best months on the fishery. Sea trout run early on the Lower Caragh and from late March/April onwards average 0.75-3lb. The heaviest sea trout taken in recent years was 11lb. A peculiar featureof these sea trout is that they tend to hold in the LOwer Caragh River and do not appear to enter Lough Caragh in appreciable numbers. The Caragh river is divided into two beats with a maximum of five rods per beat. It is a fly only fishery. However, during high water conditions other methods (e.g. spinning) may be allowed by management. A feature of the river is the long duration of flood events. LOugh Caragh dampens the severity of floods and discharges water into the lower Caragh River in a manner which does not result in rapid changes in flow.
