"To
protect and promote the positive spirit of angling throughout the Owen
O'Garney River system"
Sixmilebridge is a small
town off the beaten tourist path in Co. Clare, Ireland. It is located
about 4 miles east of Shannon and is at the southern tip of the famous
East Clare Lakeland's. Through the town flows the Owen O'Garney river.
It is this river system that supplies the water to over 30 lakes in
East Clare, the largest of which being Doon and Cullaun lakes. It also
supplies the household water to water to most of southeast Clare through
the Castle lake reservoir.
The river system is abundant
with all types of fresh water fish ranging from the paltry minnow to
the hungry pike, and of course the king of freshwater fish, the Atlantic
salmon. Sixmilebridge Angling club voluntarily maintain these waters
to the best of our ability to ensure the angling experience for all
anglers is good as we can get it. We have undertaken a number of projects
in recent years including an ambitious salmon-restocking program, various
measures to tackle pollution and have also tackled a number of access
issues to our lakes and rivers.
Our sport is always under
threat from every angle, including pollution, poachers, drift neuters
ands nature herself with the arrival of the zebra mussel to our waters.
The club will endeavor to battle against these adversities to try and
ensure that the positive sprit of angling remains alive in South East
Clare for many generations to come
We hope you enjoy our site,
your ongoing support and understanding for our plight is welcome.
Best Regards,
Adrian Hogan - Chairman,
Sixmilebridge Angling Club
