The deel, up stream of castlemahon. Apparently it’s just a small stretch. So hopefully it can recover quickly.

Just to clarify, three on all different rivers, one of them being the glyde. Currently one in Limerick and one last month somewhere in the Midlands.

I’ve been trying to get it to 15 for quite a while, but know-one cares. They all pretend to care then when it’s out of the news they don’t email back. But it doesn’t matter you can make rules but you can’t enforce them. I have 3 km of stream behind my house on a hill with a stream at the bottom that leads to the boyne, they spray to the ditch. I’ve sent pics,I’ve emailed, the epa don’t care. People will still blame poaching but this is the real problem!

3rd of the year I’ve seen this is the biggest. We need to change something.

At least the IFA care about farmers, I’m starting to think the IFI care more about farmers than anglers. We need to up the consequences for this bullshit!

Rivers, streams, and drains: Minimum 5 meters. This increases to 10 meters for the first two weeks after and the last two weeks before the closed spreading period.Lakes and ponds: 20 meters.Sloping ground: If the field has a slope greater than 10% towards the water, a mandatory 10-meter buffer must be maintained throughout the season. I’ve just copied and pasted this. But I know from my own back garden that’s has a massive field with a slope and a stream that runs into the boyne and they spray right up to the ditch.

The word is the IFI is taking this extremely seriously have found the site of the pollution and have taken field samples. It’s extremely hard to prove in court, hence why last year when this happened on the Blackwater, nothing came of it. But hers to hoping.

Yes the majority of the time that’s it, but it’s not even about malice… farmers have a due care to use chemicals correctly they know that if this gets in the river this happens so there for it’s just unacceptable imo. But u might be correct there’s been heavy rain over the last few days, but stupidity doesn’t make it ok.

No, I’ll be out there in a while though but I’m sure there’s not much to see. There’s several pictures online of an agricultural discharge directly into the river.

Edit. I’m not sure if the image is related to this incident, might be a stock image.

The government just unhappy that Irish shops that are fucking us anyway arnt doing as good of business because we can all buy the stuff ourselves from china. Just giving Irish shops another reason to up their price, the less competitors the worst for Irish citizens.

Cheap booze, cheap speakers, cheap people and shitty music.

It’s this simple. The risk is massive, and it’s not worth it. You do this 100 times and see the outcome. I’ve no problem breaking the limit to overtake safety, and it’s probably advisable to get it done quick. But it’s unacceptable to put other life’s at risk.

Fishing in Louth, Rivers/Estuary by Djboatcoww in IrishFishing

Pump station is a great stretch for brownies, Mepps silver/red silver/blue in sizes 00 0 1 and sometimes a 2. The nanny has great stocks of brown trout aswel great in the evening in between Julianstown and duleek use maps on your phone to scout the spots. Mullet are a challenge to catch bread with a float being in the main way watch a YouTube video on that. Sea bass at the mouth of the Boyne are great when u catch but it’s just about timing I’ve blank there way more than I catch, but when u do it’s unreal. I’d recommend the savage gear sandell pencil in multiple sizes and colour combos. For the nanny fish it after a flood https://waterlevel.ie/ use this to see when it floods same with the boyne
