THE FISHERY

Click on thumbnail map to launch a larger map

Lough Boderg is a sizeable lake of over 3000 acres located close to Rooskey and Dromod and about 8 miles south of Carrick on Shannon. There is a match stretch in Derrycarne Forest Park off the Dublin N4 road. There are 25 to 30 pegs available within a short walk from the car park. Bream fishing can be very good here especially when there is a westerly wind and the water is a bit choppy, with 60lbs+ bags being common. There are also hybrids, roach, rudd and perch and is a good stretch for feeder fishing 30 to 40 yards from a rocky shore into 10 to 12 feet of water. This is a very popular venue and is recommended that you secure your position early in the day during peak season. When flat calm waggler fishing is regarded as the best method. There are also two stone piers , one at the first car park which will accommodate two anglers. This pier fishes well in early season April-June. If you care to use a boat here there is access. The second pier is about 100 yards to the right. It is a little damaged but there are two stone slabs to fish from. Waggler fishing is recommended due to the rocky bottom. It is also a good spot for roach and perch.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

To the west of the lough there are a few pegs but access is difficult. It is fished in early and late season with often good results

TO GET THERE

The section will be sign posted from the N4 which is located four miles from Dromod.
