Hospital Pool & Victoria Bridge, 2 Nov 2023 DSC_0874-2
The Hospital Pool
This is known locally as "The Quiet Pool" (somewhere quiet to relax), just the place where fish can rested after running up through the fast streams of Paddy’s and Breen Streams.
The pool is located downstream from Victoria Bridge and can be accessed either from the access steps at each side of the road bridge and walking downstream along the river bank. The most common approach is via the gates next to the factory, it is then a short walk along the old disused railway line.
This pool has produced many large salmon over the years, it is good for spinning in parts and the head of the pool is a prized fly fishing location.
This stretch of water is managed by Sion Mills Angling Club (SMAC).
