Our History

Brief History Of Our Association The association was founded in 1956 by a concerned group of anglers whose traditional fishing grounds were put up for sale by the representatives of a local landlord. Prior to the disposal of the fishing rights the anglers of Listowel and it’s hinterland enjoyed almost free reign of this most undervalued resource. The then “Silver River Feale” was teaming with salmon, and in season sea trout ran feverishly in their millions upstream to procreate. The Feale was so prolific that some rod anglers dropped their day jobs to make a better living from rod fishing. A sympathetic clerk working in a solicitors office broke the news that the recently established Tralee District Anglers Association were about to make an offer for the fishing rights and that a deposit had been paid. This was a bomb shell to the Listowel anglers as they realized that they may soon lose their cherished free fishery. “An” emergency meeting of all interested anglers was called in Listowel with an attendance of 200 approx. A committee was formed to raise money and put in a rival bid for the fishery to the solicitor of the landlord. A name was chosen for the new entity, thus “North Kerry Anglers Association” was formed and a levy of £10 per member was agreed. Eighty two anglers managed to raise the required levy and became the founder members of the Association, some local business men also contributed to the cause A higher bid was put forward to the Solicitor (for the landlord) this was rejected on the grounds that Tralee club had paid a deposit and were about to close the sale. A standoff ensued with lots of threats from both sides with the consequential hardening of attitudes. A crisis committee meeting of the association decided that the only option open to break the logjam was a total boycott of all goods from Tralee wholesale traders. A blockade of the Tralee road to Listowel ensued with all van and trucks containing goods from Tralee refused entrance to Listowel. This action caused consternation in both Tralee and Listowel with enormous pressures on both sides to break the deadlock. A local Catholic curate and angler who had served in both parishes put himself forward as mediator: this was accepted by all as the best way forward. The mediator talked independently with both sides and put forward the solution that the fishery should be halved between the two clubs. This was first rejected vehemently by the clubs but after further pressure and mediation it was reluctantly accepted as the best deal possible under the circumstances. North Kerry Anglers Association never looked back, they drew up a strong constitution with its primary aim to promote angling in the North Kerry area and protect this fertile fishery for generations to come. The association went on to purchase further fine fisheries. The Association now attracts a seasonal membership of 260. Hon. Sec

Our Fisheries

The River Feale is rated as one of the outstanding Salmon and Sea Trout rivers in Ireland. In a good season it is estimated to produce at least 1,500 Salmon and Grilse and well over 2,000 Sea Trout to rod and line. The river rises in the mountain region of county Cork and in it’s meandering 46 mile journey to the Atlantic ocean it flows through a picturesque landscape of bogland, fertile valleys and rolling hills. In the middle to lower regions it is a big river mostly gravel bed, dominated by large deep fishing pools with natural bank vegetation for cover. Wading is necessary in most stretches, especially when fly-fishing. However a fairly competent angler equipped with a 14' rod, a pair of chest waders and a wading staff will find that practically every part of the river is accessible. Nine miles from the estuary the Feale dissects Listowel town, capital of north Kerry. The town waters has 4 main Salmon pools which have recently been re-developed. This offers tourist anglers a choice of fishing in a rural setting or the convenience of fishing in the recently refurbished town waters. This stretch also provides very good Sea Trout fishing. Over the past few years the local angling club the “North Kerry Anglers Association” has invested in the region of £100,000 on in-stream development works. About 2 miles upstream of Listowel town the largest tributary the Smearlagh river joins the Feale. This is a fast flowing river of about 10 miles in length with good Salmon and Sea Trout fishing. It offers a challenge to those anglers who will change their tactics to suit the prevailing conditions. With the right water conditions it will give a rich reward and bring the visiting angler back time and again. North Kerry Anglers Association issues daily & weekly permits for fishing on 9 miles of the Feale & Smearlagh rivers. FACTFILE Methods All, except Shrimp/Prawn Flywater Approx 75% Best Fishing Pools To Note Set in serene surroundings with only the occasional sound of traffic to break the spell! this flat expanse of water just above Listowel’s main bridge and adjacent to Listowel Town Park. Easily accessible for young and not so young anglers, bench seats are available while waiting for the water to be just right. Salmon rest here after negotiating a difficult stream and fish pass to prepare for the next step of the journey. It offers great fishing to those who are willing to put in the time and effort. When the water is right they can be up to four to five salmon tagged or released. Any spinning lure is best in these waters when water conditions are between 1000mm to 700mm high. A rapid stream to the west of Listowel Bridge and adjacent to the town is ideal fly water for the discerning angler in medium to low water conditions. Best fished from the town side with the warming sun on your face, you may need shades at times to deliver a fly in just the right place. Start fishing in this stream and move westward to the next pool then on to the four stub groins and if you haven’t a salmon or two in the bag, you should consider alternative fly-lure. One of the great prolific pools in our fishery it is estimated that up to 200 Salmon (spring and grilse) are taken from this pool every season. Situated adjacent to the centre of Listowel Town and at the rear of the Listowel Arms Hotel, and Listowel’s Island Race Course, it should be the first stop for visitors. This pool fishes best from both banks in medium to low water conditions. Suitable for fly, spinners or worms. Just a little west of Greenville Race Company's foot bridge, this stream and flat offers great fishing in high and medium water conditions. Bordered to the north by an enchanted wood and to the south by a high bank - this produces a micro- climate and it is very pleasant to fish when harsh spring winds are blowing. Chest waders and flotation gear are a must when the war is high for this top rewarding stretch of fishing. This pool is best fished from the south side and in high to medium water, suitable for a fly or spinning bait. The only sounds you’ll hear here is the sound of milch cows chewing the cud or the crow of a randy cock pheasant. Just on the acute bend of the river before it falls rapidly into Matt’s Rock Pool. This is a resting pool for fish in high water conditions and can be rewarding if you hit it at the right time!. Set just below an acute bend on the river with a natural rocky bottom makes it a natural place for fish to rest and relax. Bordered on the north by a sloping wood and on the south by rich grazing land. Upstream you have Stack’s Cliff and “The Point Pool” , downstream you have “The Joining s”. Best fished from the south side if you are fishing a fly or spinning and from the north side if you are worming. It can be fished in most heights of water but better in high to medium water heights. The meeting between the Feale and Smerlagh rivers - this is the junction where salmon and sea trout take a breather in their relentless journey upstream to spawn. Here in this melting pot - they analysis the juices from both rivers and then decide whether they have to travel east up the Feale or south up the Smerlagh. Best fished in high to moderate water with a fly or spinning lure. Peaceful and tranquil area to fish in - it will melt all your troubles away and send you home feeling ‘it’s good to be alive to- day”. Just a little more than a stone throw below Listowel main bridge and adjacent to Kerry Ingredients Factory. It offers a good fly run past 3 stub groins and into the Powleen Pool. Best fished in high to medium water with fly or a spinning lure. If you don’t mind the noise emanating from the adjacent factory it can be a prolific fishing area and a safe area for apprentice juvenile anglers. The stub groins work well - speeding up the water flow and giving protection to fish chilling out from the main flow. The name comes from a British army corporal based in Listowel town who drowned whilst swimming in the pool in the eighteen hundreds.

About 2 miles upstream of Listowel town the largest tributary the Smearlagh river joins the Feale. This is a fast flowing river of about 10 miles in length with good Salmon and Sea Trout fishing. It offers a challenge to those anglers who will change their tactics to suit the prevailing conditions. With the right water conditions it will give a rich reward and bring the visiting angler back time and again. The “North Kerry Anglers Association” issues daily & weekly permits for fishing on 9 miles of the Feale & Smearlagh rivers.

Set in serene surroundings with only the occasional sound of traffic to break the spell! this flat expanse of water just above Listowel’s main bridge and adjacent to Listowel Town Park. Easily accessible for young and not so young anglers, bench seats are available while waiting for the water to be just right. Salmon rest here after negotiating a difficult stream and fish pass to prepare for the next step of the journey. It offers fantastic fishing to those who are willing to put in the time and effort. When the water is right they can be up to four to five salmon tagged or released. Any spinning lure is best in these waters when water conditions are between 1000mm to 700mm high. A rapid stream to the west of Listowel Bridge and adjacent to the town is ideal fly water for the discerning angler in medium to low water conditions. Best fished from the town side with the warming sun on your face, you may need shades at times to deliver a fly in just right place. Start fishing in this stream and move westward to the next pool then on to the four stub groins and if you haven’t a salmon or two in the bag, you should consider alternative flylure. One of the most prolific pools in our fishery it is estimated that up to 200 Salmon (spring and grilse) are taken from this pool every season. Situated adjacent to the centre of Listowel Town and at the rear of the Listowel Arms Hotel, and Listowel’s Island Race Course, it should be the first stop for visitors. This pool fishes best from both banks in medium to low water conditions. Suitable for fly, spinners or worms. Just a little west of Greenville Race Company's foot bridge, this stream and flat offers great fishing in high and medium water conditions. Bordered to the north by an enchanted wood and to the south by a high bank - this produces a micro- climate and it is very pleasant to fish when harsh spring winds are blowing. Chest waders and flotation gear are a must when the war is high for this most rewarding stretch of fishing. This pool is fished best from the south side and in high to medium water, suitable for a fly or spinning bait. The only sounds you’ll hear is the sound of milch cows chewing the cud or the crow of a randy cock pheasant. Just on the acute bend of the river before it falls rapidly into Matt’s Rock Pool. This is a resting pool for fish in high water conditions and can be rewarding if you hit it at the right time!. Set just below an acute bend on the river with a natural rocky bottom make it a natural place for fish to rest and relax. Bordered on the north by a sloping wood and on the south by rich grazing land. Upstream you have Stack’s Cliff and “The Point Pool” , downstream you have “The Joinings”. Best fished from the south side if you are fishing a fly or spinning and from the north side if your worming. It can be fished in most heights of water but better in high to medium water heights. The meeting between the Feale and Smearlagh rivers - this is the junction where salmon and sea trout take a breather in their relentless journey upstream to spawn. Here in this melting pot - they analysis the juices from both rivers and then decide whether they have to travel east up the Feale or south up the Smearlagh. Best fished in high to moderate water with a fly or spinning lure. Peaceful and tranquil area to fish in - it will melt all your troubles away and send you home feeling ‘it’s good to be alive to-day”. Just a little more than a stone throw below Listowel main bridge and adjacent to Kerry Ingredients Factory. It offers a good fly run past 3 stub groins and into the Powleen Pool. Best fished in high to medium water with fly or a spinning lure. If you don’t mind the noise emanating from the adjacent factory it can be a prolific fishing area and a safe area for apprentice juvenile anglers. The stub groins work well - speeding up the water flow and giving protection to fish chilling out from the main flow.

The River Feale is rated as one of the outstanding Salmon and Sea Trout rivers in Ireland. In a good season it is estimated to produce at least 1,500 Salmon and Grilse and well over 2,000 Sea Trout to rod and line. The river rises in the mountain region of county Cork and in it’s meandering 46 mile journey to the Atlantic ocean it flows through a picturesque landscape of bogland, fertile valleys and rolling hills. In the middle to lower regions it is a big river mostly gravel bed, dominated by large deep fishing pools with natural bank vegetation for cover. Wading is necessary in most stretches, especially when fly-fishing. However a fairly competent angler equipped with a 14' rod, a pair of chest waders and a wading staff will find that practically every part of the river is accessible. Nine miles from the estuary the Feale dissects Listowel town, capital of north Kerry. The town waters has 4 main Salmon pools which have recently been re-developed. This offers tourist anglers a choice of fishing in a rural setting or the convenience of fishing in the recently refurbished town waters. This stretch also provides very good Sea Trout fishing. Over the past few years the local angling club the “North Kerry Anglers Association” has invested in the region of £100,000 on in-stream development works. About 2 miles upstream of Listowel town the largest tributary the Smearlagh river joins the Feale. This is a fast flowing river of about 10 miles in length with good Salmon and Sea Trout fishing.

Safety & Risk Assessment Statement It is the duty of North Kerry Anglers Association to familiarise its members, officials and all visiting anglers with the principals of safety and risk assessment. All members, officials and visiting anglers should make themselves aware of the risks they face in the surroundings they find themselves and carry out their own risk assessment which generally amounts to common sense and take the appropriate action to ensure their own safety and that of others. However, it is a requirement that all classes of Members read, understand and accept this Safety & Risk Assessment Statement. General Risks Associated With Angling Feale and Smerlagh Rivers Are very fast flowing rivers (spate) whose banks and river bed are susceptible to perpetual change from high velocity water making its way to the sea. Be aware of the treat to safety that these rivers pose when angling and stay safe Banks The river bank can be a very dangerous place for Anglers. Beware of slippery rocks loose uneven stone, undercuts in banks especially near deep water. Paths Please respect the land owner’s rights, please keep to obvious pathways along the river bank and avoid disturbing the landowner’s livestock. Do not place anything on the path which may cause a trip hazard to walkers and other users. Wading Take particular care when wading in deep or fast water and on slippery rocky bottoms. Use a wading staff, wading belt and buoyancy aid at all times. Junior Anglers (under 16) Must be supervised by parents or guardian at all times when fishing/angling on association waters. Educate juniors to the hazards they could encounter along the river bank, in that way, you will bring them home safe and sound. Car Parking Please use the car parking provided, do not become a hazard or obstruct the right of way of other road users, doing so could be illegal! Power Lines Beware of fishing under power lines and remember electricity can arc over a considerable distance. You are ideally earthed in water to conduct electricity. Remember that graphite fishing rod is an excellent conductor of electricity. Lightning Again you are ideally earthed when in water and if using a graphite fishing rod, you have a good lightning conductor. If you are river bank your rod may well be the highest point around and a prime target for a strike. Casting Always show consideration to other users on the river bank by avoiding contacting anyone with your back-cast. It is recommended that protective eye wear are worn when fishing to protect your eyes from hooks and flies. Hooks/Flies Hooks by their design are sharp and easily penetrate the skin. Their use brings them into contact with germs etc; that can be injurious to health. Caution should be used when handling hooks, tying on or removing hooks. Rusty hooks should be avoided at all times. It is recommended that you carry a concise First Aid Kit in your fishing bag. Weighted Weighted flies cause unpredictable movement of cast when casting. Extreme caution should be exercised. Flies When casting weighted flies do ensure they do not come in contact with you, your fellow anglers or the public. Trees Fishing under trees can be unsafe in windy conditions, beware of falling branches. Do not climb trees to retrieve entangled baits, it’s not worth the risk of falling. Animals Do note that bulls can be troublesome! As can cows with calves. Approach the river bank or field with due caution. Weils Disease This is transmitted in rat’s urine. Never put wet lines in your mouth or any other items of tackle that has been in the water. Wear waterproof plaster on any cuts or abrasions. There may also be a risk in some waters from treated sewage effluent. Falling in the water Falling in the water may cause drowning. It is recommended that a buoyancy aid is worn at all times when on, in or near water. Weather Conditions The weather may change suddenly and cause unforeseen dangerous water conditions. Be constantly aware of changing weather and its consequences. HEATH & SAFETY Do not engage in any activities that may be detrimental to the health and safety of fellow members or others. Be safe and assist others also to be Safe! MOBILE PHONE Do carry a mobile phone with you in case of an accident and do stay in contact. Please remember to switch the phone on to vibrate or low volume to avoid distracting your fellow anglers. Permit Inspectors Please respect our Permit Inspectors and have your membership card with you on the river bank at all times. RUBBISH Never leave or discard nylon line on the river bank as it may become a trip hazard, please take home all rubbish with you for safe discard.
