THE FISHERY

Please click on the thumbnail map to display a larger more detailed local map

The Northern Shores of Lough Derg have over recent years become renowned for its quality Bream fishing. Huge bags of Bream are reported from remote shores and anglers are now coming every year to experience and enjoy this type of  fishing. Daily bags of 100lbs + are averaged by most anglers fishing the Lough when conditions are suitable. Bags of 200lbs+ and occasionally 300lbs + are reported.  If you opt for this type of fishing we recommend you come suitably prepared with a levelling platform for your comfort as the shores can be rocky and uneven in places, also watch the weather forecast as fishing can be uncomfortable in strong winds. Local Angling Services are there to assist, see listing on the right. The lake produces large pike up to 30lbs+ 

FACILITIES AND ACCESS
