County Carlow is a county of the Republic of Ireland located towards the south east of Ireland, in the province of Leinster. Carlow in Irish is "Ceatharlach", (meaning Four-part Lake) and is only 84 km from Dublin. The River Barrow flows through the town and forms the historic boundary between County Laois and Carlow. It is a rich farming land area with breathe taking views of the countryside. The countryside offers amazing walks such as the "South Leinster Walk Way".
The Barrow is renowned as a game and coarse angling river for salmon, brown trout, roach, rudd, pike, perch and tench with easy access to all parts of the river from the Barrow footpath. The salmon and trout fishing season on the River Barrow commences January and runs to the end of September. Good trout fishing can be enjoyed at a number of locations on the river and its tributaries.
