Habitat Enhancement
The Boyne system has some of the finest salmonid fishing in the country, but has over the last 30 years or so deteriorated to an extent where some of our streams cannot sustain salmomid life in sufficient numbers to sustain this great fishery.
We have identified a number of streams which we believe need extensive remedial action. The problems affecting these areas are complex and range from overgrazing to drainage and insufficient light which makes most of these streams unable to sustain optimum salmonid life.
We would envisage that the streams entering the main river would be tackled first as these streams supply much of our spawning grounds. We believe that ongoing maintenance is the key to guarantee the wellbeing of the system into the future.
