The Shannon Regional Fisheries Board have conducted extensive research into providing you with the most accurate and extensive  fishing guides available for the region. To supplement and add value to these guides we depend on angling feedback. This is where you can assist by letting us know of your experiences or best angling tactics on our  fisheries.  Contributions which we feel will add value to our fishing guides will be posted and if information is accepted you will have a choice to have your name and email address included as a contributor at the bottom of our guides to each fishery described. This will enable others to view, communicate or even share other information directly with you by email.
