Fishing in Kildare

20/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Many people are looking for things to do during the Corona virus lock down. As we can currently only travel a limited distance I would suggest fishing. Whether you're looking for things to do in Kildare, things to do in Kilkenny, things to do in Carlow or things to do in Laois, most places are still closed. However, one thing all these counties have in common is access to either the river Barrow, river Nore or Grand canal. Fishing is fantastic pasttime and costs very little. Whether you catch anything or not, that doesnt really matter. Once you're out enjoying the outdoors. Today was spent on the canal bank of the Barrowline. I caught nothing but the bird song was fantastic. Managed to get a lovely picture of a Yellowhammer. Great day.

Another cracking day for the Grand canal. Perfect for a ramble and keeping the head in good shape. #gowalking #mentalhealth #getoutdoors

With the lockdown getting to us all and no boats moving, I've decided to revisited the blog. However, I'll be keeping things short with a more of a day to day diary of fixing boats and being out on river bank, than anything else.
