    I think it is closed to all fishing.

    You can still fish for brown trout using appropriate equipment.

    One river in galway I fish in which are closed for salmon / sea trout doesn't allow any method where a one of those is likely to be caught accidentally ie no worms, lures etc.

    I've fished for brown trout in seatrout and salmon river's,and I was left alone by the fisheries officer.

    Going down with a mepps or worm is only asking for trouble and drawing attention to yourself.

    Go down with a trout flyrod and they'll leave you alone.
