MEASURED AT THE STATION

Water levels

Each reading belongs to a named station. Levels use a local reference point and are not water depth.

Choosing a station

Thurles, Caher Park, Clonmel and Ardfinnan have named records. Some additional entries are marked FFWS back-up; retain the full name when choosing a station.

Current rules, licences, permits and access

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.

These links lead to the official publisher. Seasons, restrictions, prices and access arrangements are not reproduced here.

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.
