River Boyne
The Boyne rises in Kildare and travels northeast towards the Irish Sea below Drogheda. Around Trim and Navan, IFI describes a river with established wild brown trout angling.
PLACES & CONNECTIONS
A river to explore
Explore Boyne locations around Trim, Navan and Slane, or follow its Kells and Enfield Blackwater tributaries through the connected-river links.
The official guide focuses on wild brown trout between Longwood and Navan and around Trim. It identifies angling associations and private fisheries serving different sections.
Species described by the official guide: Brown trout.
Ask the listed association which waters its visitor permit covers.
A State licence and permission for a particular fishery are separate matters. Check the applicable licence requirements, the current rules for your species and water, and the club or rights holder’s permission. A permit does not by itself establish a route across private land.

Check current rules, permissions and local access before travelling. These readings do not measure fishing quality or establish that it is safe to enter the water.
