About this water

Dramatic canyon river smaller and steeper than the Tara or Lim, with plunge pools, tight runs, and pocket water in a narrow limestone gorge. Brown trout dominate the technical small-water fishing, which requires short casts and careful wading. The canyon setting makes this an adventurous venue with spectacular scenery. May–October. Daily zone permits; catch-and-release with barbless-style rules.
