Fly fishing
The Erkina and Goul rivers are both limestone river tributaries with abundance of insect life. These are prime dry fly rivers and trout up to 3Ib and over can be headed on a dry fly of an evening. The best locations in County Laois for these rivers are Rathdowney, Durrow and Cullahill.
Attanagh Shooting and Fly Fishing Museum
The only museum of its kind in Ireland and even in the EU. It is home to a unique record of Irish heritage, which is often forgotten. The ever-expanding collection is carefully preserved and displayed and the function of each piece explained to the visitor. The proprietor, Walter Phelan has collected a truly remarkable collection of records and artefacts, many of which are no longer used or allowed and long forgotten.
The collection will be of enormous interest to anyone who shoots, hunts or fishes. Located in the former post office in the village of Attanagh, just outside Durrow, Co. Laois, it is within minutes of the Dublin/Cork road.
