Its catch and release only there, which makes sense that fishing from the bridge is banned, as dropping a fish from the bridge isnt going to be too good for it.

Top of page 16

In accordance with the current national salmon management system, only two catchments
in the Shannon, the Feale and the Mulkear, are open for wild salmon angling. The portion of
the lower Shannon from O’Briensbridge to Thomond Bridge is open for angling on a catchand-release basis, meaning that all wild salmon must be returned alive. Under Section 18
Authorisation from the Shannon Regional Fisheries Board anglers may keep hatchery fish.
