Fishing
The River Maigue runs through Adare and is well stocked
with Wild Brown Trout.
Equipment can be hired locally
and fishing tackle can be bought in the village.
The Maigue gets a nice run of spring salmon
and a good run of grilse but is primarily a trout
fishery. The spring fish normally run from mid-March to
mid-May and the grilse from early June to the end of July.
There is some good fishing for brown trout and slob trout. At low water much of the
river can be waded in the Adare area. The system has been
the subject of major arterial drainage some years ago but
in recent times development work on the main channel and
its tributaries has contributed greatly to improvement in
trout stocks. The trout average about ¾ lb with some to
2 and even 3lbs. The system has all the usual fly hatches
one associates with a rich limestone river, including mayfly.
