The Shannon Regional Fisheries Board develops, protects, conserves and promotes Inland Fisheries and supports and assists the marketing of angling and tourism angling in this region in Ireland, in a sustainable manner for the benefit of local communities.

Welcome to the Shannon Regional Fisheries Board Web Site. We have been working since February of 1998 to provide a comprehensive Angling Information and Advisory Service for anglers visiting the Shannon Region. On the site we profile the Board's activities. we provide comprehensive Angling guides and updates, Irish Specimen Fish Awards and lots more Visiting anglers can plan a fishing holiday from this site, we have contact information to local services including angler friendly accommodation in the region ! We hope you find the site useful

If you are a student and require educational information on environmental topics with particular reference to the aquatic Environment, you will find this site a useful resource.

We now have a facility for Guesthouse & Hotel Owners and other providers of Angling Services in the Region who wish to directly apply for inclusion under the relevant sections of the site e.g accommodation, boat hire, tackle dealers etc. To submit your details please use our services application form. This service is now being charged at a special introductory offer of £30.00, € 38.10

We are currently working on a 2nd generation website (December 2001) which will take account of new and changing technologies. We will provide more info on this in due course but we do expect some exciting new additions

Due to the extensive nature of information available on this site we have made your task a lot easier by providing a Site Map for all the main categories of fishing and a full site search engine. These are placed at the bottom of each page you visit, so click there at any stage to locate the links you need to easily access our information

With the site being highly ranked across all the major search engines and specialist angling and other directories, and linked from hundreds of websites around the net, traffic is steadily building and the site is now attracting an average of well in excess of 1000+ page views a day. We are currently distributing thousands of information cards to accommodation providers and other specialist operators to create awareness and to promote our website further.

Whilst every effort is being made to provide as much information as we can, the Board cannot accept any responsibility for inaccuracies, errors or omissions. Should users find any errors or omissions we would request you to contact us so we may endeavour to adjust the relevant web page/s accordingly.

We provide comprehensive advertising for Boat and Ghillie/Guide hire and other services in the region for your reference. In the interest of your safety please check out if your boat hire operator offers or has public liability insurance to cover you while you are using their equipment or whether you have to arrange this independently yourself. This board cannot accept any responsibility for accidental damage or personal injury claims arising out of any accident which may occur while you are using any boat, outboard motor or any other equipment hired to you by any operator listed on this website. In regard to other supporting services advertised on this site, we accept no responsibility for any grievances that a third party may have. Any grievance should be taken up with the provider of advertised services or the tour operator, ferry company etc, which ever is relevant. In the case of accommodation providers listed, we cannot guarantee standards, but would be confident however that those listed would be at least of very acceptable standard. Most of those advertised are in fact Irish Tourist Board approved, a very small number may not be, but are known to offer good local services for anglers. We therefore ask you to check approval standards by contacting An Bord Failte the Irish tourist board.

We invite you to give us feedback on any aspect of the Inland Fishery or Service Industry or indeed anything you would like to discuss with us. We would appreciate if you would take a little time to complete and submit our 'online' Angling questionnaires. If we don't hear from you we assume the site satisfies your information needs. Thank you.

Information and updates on this site are drawn from many sources. We wish to thank all those who have and continue to facilitate this process. It is impossible to thank each individual personally.

We wish to acknowledge with thanks Brian Taylor from Canada for permission to use his Irish melodies (midi files) on our site, which will hopefully add some light entertainment while you browse some of our main pages.

NB: This site is being developed, and promoted 'in-house' by Brian Mc Manus for the Shannon Regional Fisheries Board, which went on line on February 1st 1998. Any questions or requests, please email info@shannon-fishery-board.ie
