i was there this summer and was watching a few cave diving videos,dya think there are caves in that

@aerlingus18 The place is full of superstition, especially that if you jump in the pot will suck you down and you cannot escape. I have not seen or heard of anyone challenging that superstition. Its very dramatic after heavy rains when the swallow holes that feed it send so much water along and the pot bubbles away as if it is boiling, quite eerie.

@celticways no way id love to see that..is that why its called the pot?

fish do jump at the Shannon Pot to catch low flying flies. I kid people these are salmon, but are likely to be sticklebacks, and maybe rud. Most of the Shannon is not great for Salmon fishing. Good for trout in places, though.

Do salmon actually still live in the shannon pot now?
