    Hi,
    You should drop into anglers world in Navan and ask there. I forget the owners name but I met him a few times in pike competitions and he was a very helpfull guy.

    Call into Anglers World or Clarkes Sportsden. There is a very active club in Navan and they have very good Salmon and Trout waters.

    I know its an older thread but hope you didnt join navan anglers as there is no fish i the boyne around the navan area at the moment. I fished this river for years but there is not a trout left in it! I think it has been poluted by the new water works at kilcarn but everything has been keep hush hush. As i said therre was very good fishing there years ago but not a fish left in the place now!

    ps...yeah the prices in anglers world are a joke!

    Salmon sure as they come up the river. I was referring to trout! Spoke to friend of mine who says there is trout in the ramparts but from Kilcarn bridge into town there is nothing! I spent my life growing up around this area and know this part of the river inside out and knew all the good spots for fish...there is not one decent trout left in it!!! I believe the re-opening of the waterworks at kilcarn has done some major damage but of course its been kept quiet!!! Public works!
