    Long ago Castleconnell had a flourishing industry, fishing for salmon and eels. The salmon fishing was the most important, because they fetched a very great price. The me had big fishing-rods and certain baits the most important bait being the prawn. It was like a small yellow fish that lives in the sea. Men of Castleconnell used make rods and other necessaries for fishing. The fishermen had gaffs and nets to bring the fish safely to the boat.
