Prop:
Paddy Guerin, Kingfisher Angling Centre, Coolbane, Castleconnell, Co Limerick.
Provides all angling services
An article from The New York Times dated Monday, July 9, 1996 stated:
"P.J.Guerin's Pub is the undisputed headquarters of the men most knowledgeable about the river and the fish in it, especially the famous Irish salmon. Some of these men are hired fishing guides, or 'ghillies' as they are known locally. Others are from other walks of life but thrown together in their relentless pursuit of fish, which in this part of Ireland means either salmon or trout. The area attracts anglers from all over the world. The banks of the river Shannon are a verdant Eden, lined with elms, oaks and beech over 100 years old; in some places the river is 300 yards wide. It's home to swans, geese, ducks and otters and few people. It is so green it overwhelms one's senses. Patrick J. Guerin, the local publican, is spearheading a move to incorporate the area into a national park or nature preserve….this is in line with Ireland's announced aim at becoming the sports playground of Europe with expanded fishing figuring prominently in the plan."
