THE FISHERY

Click on thumbnail map to launch a larger map

This is a 62 acre lake with a good stock of Tench, Roach and Hybrids. The lake is best fished on dull days as the water is often very clear. The lake tends to weed up quite badly during the summer months with a lot of reed in the margins. It is a shallow lake with only 4 to 5 feet of water. It does have a very good stock of Tench to 6lbs but anglers claim they are difficult to locate and catch.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

Development work on a new access roadway and car park was undertaken by the ShRFB in association with  Leitrim Co Council, and Lough Errill Development Association and the International Fund for Peace and Reconciliation over the year 2000. The Fisheries Board have erected one purpose built disabled fishing stand at the car park which conforms to the guidelines set out by the rehabilitation board of Ireland.

To access deeper water it is necessary to cross a few fields to the left of the car park where you will locate two regular double fishing stands.  

TO GET THERE

From Mohill take the Carrick on Shannon Road R201. Lough Errill is located about 1.5 kms or so on the left hand side of the road.
