4th Class visit to the River Clare

This week we walked down to the river bank of our local river, the River Clare on a beautiful sunny day. Kevin and his team from Inland Fisheries Ireland  were there to greet us at the riverbank. They spoke to us on the importance of our river has on our local area. They showed us how to take a 'kick sample' on the river bed. They explained that this was to check and see what insects, fish and other creatures are in our river. This indicates how healthy a river is. We found a lot of stone-flies and other insects which indicates that our river is a clean, healthy environment for fish, and is pollution free at present. They showed us 'electric fishing', where they caught various species. We identified eel, salmon, perch and trout. We used fact sheets to identify the fish and insects found in the river. What a great day we had at the riverbank!!
