REGIONAL FISHERIES BOARD MIDLAND
FISHERIES GROUP OF WATERS
A Shannon Board Permit is required to fish the Shannon
Regional Fisheries Board Midland Fisheries Group of controlled waters.
What waters
are included?
Within
the Shannon Fisheries Region there are hundreds
of Lakes and hundreds of miles of River whose fishing rights
are owned or controlled by various individuals, Angling clubs and
State bodies. The Shannon Board has some of these
fishing rights which it promotes under the brand name Midland
Fisheries group. We have 5 main
catchments in this group
SEE MAP OF CATCHMENTS IN THE MIDLAND FISHERIES GROUP,
which should not be confused with the rest of the Shannon Region where
the Board does not have fishing rights.
While
a number of waters in
the Midland Fisheries group are better known as Trout and
Salmon waters, others are renowned for the
high
quality of Coarse and
Pike angling they offer.
Why
a permit charge (Ticket charge)?
The
Board has had a
Permit charge (Ticket charge) on the Midland
Fisheries for Trout Angling for many years. In reviewing its
management and the fees charged for its Fisheries in 2002, the Board
agreed that it was unfair to charge one angler to fish for one species
while another angler fishing for a different species, on the same
water, was not charged. The cost of managing the Midland Fisheries
has also greatly increased over the years and the Board felt that
Coarse anglers who utilise our fisheries should contribute to this
cost
It
should be noted that while a permit charge is in existence on the Midland
Fisheries no charge is made on the main River Shannon or other
fisheries whose fishing rights are NOT
under the control of the Shannon Board.
What
does it cost?
The
cost of an annual permit is 35 for which an angler can fish for any
species on all 27 waters within the regulations of those fisheries. A
tourist angler will only pay 18 for a 21 day permit which is
excellent value. In Europe and the UK an angler would pay this and
more for only one days fishing.
Why purchase a permit?
By
purchasing a Board Permit, an angler not only benefits from fishing on
Board waters but also contributes to the conservation and development
of the fish and their habitats.
Where
does the money go?
All the
permit income is reinvested in the conservation and management of the
Midland Fisheries with the additional funds raised from the
coarse extension going to coarse fish conservation and management.
-
In
the Midland Fisheries, the Board has taken action to prevent
and eliminate water pollution and environmental damage, the greatest
threat to all fish stocks.
-
The
Board also provides a maintenance and development service in these
fisheries, which has led to the maintenance and development of
angling access and angling structures over many years. As a result,
many fine angling venues both for Coarse fish and Trout have been
developed
-
The
Board, both in its own right and working with the various groups in
these fisheries, is also active in the
promotion of the Midland Fisheries as angling venues.
Angling Tourism
In
deliberations on this issue, the Board considered the impact any
charge might have on tourist interests in the waters concerned and are
of the view that no serious impact should occur. It has been the
Boards experience, in recent years, that where tourist anglers are
informed that funds raised through angling permits are reinvested in
the fishery, they are willing to contribute.
The
Angling Tourist sector must realise that unless
investment is made in the conservation and development of this sector,
as happens in all other sports such as golf, horse riding, walking
etc., angling will become unsustainable. Sustainability in the
commercially driven economic climate we live in will not be achieved
unless those who actively participate in the sport are willing to
contribute in some small way to its continuation.
The
contribution made by visiting anglers will ensure that the Midland
Fisheries will continue to have sustainable angling that will
enable the angling tourism product to be sustained and developed. The
Board is willing to work with local interests to improve angling
promotion on these fisheries which have excellent angling available.
