THE KELLS BLACKWATER is the largest tributary of the River Boyne and it is fed by Lough Ramor in County Cavan. It flows in a south-easterly direction passing north of Kells, Co. Meath to its confluence with the Boyne at Navan. This river has all the usual fly hatches associated with a limestone river with sedges and olives being important. Presently the best of the brown trout angling on this river is on the waters controlled by Kells Angling Club. This includes the stretches from the Nine-Eyed Bridge at its source to Mabes Bridge, which is located just north of Kells. This river holds good stocks of wild brown trout up to two pounds and over and most of the stretches provide good angling. In 2004 the Blackwater produced a new record brown trout for the river which weighed in at over 9lbs 11ozs.Kells Anglers In 2004 the Kells Blackwater produced several wild brown trout that weighed 3lbs to 5lbs.
