Inland Fisheries Ireland(IFI) has suspended angling at the Moy Fishery in Ballina due to high water temperatures.
The Co. Mayo fishery closed to all angling at midnight on Sunday, May 18th, after multiple high temperatures were recorded, and remains closed until further notice.
The Erriff Fishery in Mayo is also closed to all angling because of elevated temperatures.
Recent dry and hot weather has caused water temperatures to exceed the 20 degrees Celsius threshold in both locations.
IFI is guided by scientific advice that indicates a dramatic increase in angling-related mortalities at temperatures above 20 degrees.
The Moy Fishery will re-open once water temperatures return to levels where fish will not be thermally stressed.
Anglers with bookings affected by the closure will be contacted by IFI.
