30/1/17

30/1/17 What anglers decided to go fishing were disappointed and for good reason, the weather took command and dictated today’s procedure and there was only one course of action, yes you have it, it was a day for the high stool again and talk about the southerly Gaels cutting across Lough Currane and as my Noble Angers were talking of the ins and outs of fishing in the bar there was steady rain for the best of the day. Now to all anglers who love your River Inny here are the 2017 regulations and the only advice I can give you is read it carefully so you can get your quota hopefully, so read on.



Inny River Brown - Tags for 2017

As the Inny River has been set as a Brown Tag River for 2017, there is a total allowable catch by rod and line of 30 salmon or sea trout (over 40cm) for 2017

Due to the low amount of Brown Tags available to anglers, it has been decided that they will be distributed via a lottery system at four different dates throughout the season.

 March 1st  6 tags will be issued

June 1st  8 tags will be issued

July 1st 8 tags will be issued

August 1st 8  tags will be issued

The lottery will be held at the Inny Bridge on the Waterville / Cahersiveen road at 18:00 (6pm). Time and venue may change depending on weather but anyone who has submitted details to the authorized distributor will be notified beforehand.

Tags will not be distributed before March 1st  in order to allow anglers to purchase their licences and submit their licence number to the authorized distributor. Any angler wishing to fish the Inny during this period will have to do so using Catch and Release methods only.

The authorized distributor is;

David Lordan  IFI, Kenneigh, Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry 087 0697440

A valid National or Kerry licence number for 2017 must be submitted with name, address and contact number to the authorized distributor only, up to 2 days before each lottery.

In order to ensure that the tags are distributed as evenly as possible, if an angler receives a tag in any of the draws, whether or not they use it throughout the season, they cannot enter any of the 'remaining draws.

If an angler decides to finish their season early, we would encourage them to return the tag to the authorized distributor so as it can be put back into the pool of tags for the next draw.

Any angler wishing to fish the Inny River without a brown tag assigned to their licence must do so using catch and release methods only:

 Anglers may not use worms.  Anglers must use single, barbless hooks at all times.

The fish must be handled carefully and should not be removed from the water prior to release.


Brown tags cannot be transferred between licence holders without contacting the authorized distributor before the tag has been transferred.
