Angling Centre: Killaloe, Co Clare

General Fishery Area: Lower River Shannon & Lough Derg South

 LOCATION

The scenic villages of Killaloe and Ballina are divided by the River Shannon at the southern end of the mighty 32,000 acre Lough Derg. These villages are 25 kms from Limerick City and approximately 50 kms from Shannon Airport. Killaloe is a well established Pike and Coarse Angling Centre with all supporting services available to the visitor.

WHERE TO FISH   

Fisheries described in this guide cover the lower river Shannon.  There are many hidden waters, remote shores and island swims on the southern end of Lough Derg where exceptional bream fishing can be had for those more adventurous anglers. Beware these are open shores, are very rocky and should be avoided during adverse weather conditions in the interest of your own safety. TJ O'Brien -  TJ's Angling centre arranges trips and offers support to anglers visiting this part of the region. Always check the weather forecast.

There are shore facilities and fishing stands at Twomilegate nearby for those who are not happy moving by boat and are suitable for disabled anglers. Killaloe is also a good base for those interested in fishing the EAST CLARE LAKES. Other neighbouring angling centres include O'BRIENSBRIDGE on the River Shannon and MOUNTSHANNON and SCARIFF on Lough Derg's western shores
