Munster - River Bandon
River Bandon
Co. Cork
 The River Bandon rises in the Shehy Mountains in west Cork and flows east through Dunmanway, Ballineen, Enniskeane, Bandon and Inishannon to Kinsale Harbour. This is primarily a salmon and sea trout river but there are also plenty of small trout, particularly in the lower reaches.
The salmon fishing extends all the way from Inishannon upstream to Desert Bridge and becomes more spread out further up.
There is a good run of spring fish, the peak being in April. Bandon weir controls the run of spring fish and the majority of them are taken below the weir.
The grilse run occurs at the end of June and water levels can be critical for good fishing. There is also a very good run of big fresh fish in August and September, and this is again dependent on good water. Devon spinners and worms work well in Spring. The most popular local flies are the Hairy Mary, Silver Wilkinson, Silver and Blue and Garry Dog.
The river gets an excellent run of sea trout commencing in early July and lasting through August. A large number of sea trout are taken on the free waters of the estuary right up to Innishannon. The usual sea trout flies are the most effective - Peter Ross, Teal Blue and Silver and Bloody Butcher for example.
