The Slaney flows from Lugnaquilla Mountain west and then 73 miles south through Baltinglass,
Rathvilly, Tullow, Bunclody, Enniscorthy and finally Wexford discharging into a 12 mile long
narrow estuary. The river supports a wide range of wildlife and was until the early 1960s one of
the most important spring salmon fisheries in Ireland.

New website
This is the first major rework of the site since it was first established. We hope

We are particularly interested in good photographs, news about environmental matters,
what is happening in the clubs, pollution incidents, and anything to do with the
Slaney's salmon and other wildlife.
If you spot any errors please lets us know.
