🐟 The no. of juvenile at a Co Sligo stream have doubled since Inland Fisheries Ireland carried out habitat restoration works in 2025. πŸ“· Carton stream, an important trout spawning channel in Lough Arrow catchment, had been impacted by livestock trampling the riverbank and riverbed...

➑️ In 2025, IFI undertook restoration works - providing livestock with alternative water sources, fencing off river access, and restoring gravels for optimal trout spawning conditions.

🟒In Sept 2026, IFI staff returned to find cleaner water, and double the no. of juvenile brown compared with before the habitat restoration. 🌻 Flowering plants + grasses now consolidate the riverbanks and provide shade and cover for river life along Cartron stream.
