new to fishing here and just wondering if a river is listed as a closed fishery is that just for salmon and sea trout or is that for brown trout too.

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.
