The villages of Roosky and Tarmonbarry are two noted coarse angling centres on the River Shannon with big stocks of bream, roach, rudd and hybrids. The Irish rudd record was broken three times here in 1995. Several lakes are equipped with fishing stands. The Camlin River north of the town of Tarmonbarry a tributary of the Shannon is a quiet and peaceful water with great banks for fishing and produces good bream, roach, tench, pike and eel.
Fishing is free and the season is year round.
