THE FISHERY

Click on thumbnail map to display a larger map

Doon Lake is one of the prime fisheries in the East Clare Lakelands. Predominant species are Roach, medium sized Bream, Hybrids, Perch, some Tench and Rudd. The lake is divided into two parts and is joined in the centre by a smaller pond which holds specimen sized Tench but can only be fished by boat.

Doon lake is a noted Pike Fishery and has produced some fine quality Pike over recent years. For best results a boat is essential which can be arranged locally from Mr Niall O'Donnell Lake View House B&B advertised on the website - see right hand side column.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

Situated outside the village of Broadford this lake covers approximately 120 acres and can be fished from 3 venues.

O'Donnell's Shore: The first is from O Donnell's shore on the southern side of the lake. There is easy access here from the car park next to the waters edge and can be fished using either feeder or waggler. There are approximately 25 to 30 natural swims here and provide very good mixed bag fishing. 

Creamery Shore: At the Creamery shore there is a car park and space for 10 to 12 anglers. This is a tranquil location surrounded by forest.

Dooras Shore: On the opposite side of the lake there is the Dooras shore with approximately 20 natural swims. Set in beautiful surroundings this side of the lake is suitable for feeder or waggler with the pole also being an effective method for targeting  the large shoals of Roach which inhabit this area. The water depth here varies between 3 and 6 meters along its length. Medium sized Bream and hybrids are available here as are skimmers which can be targeted early session.

TO GET THERE

To access O'Donnells Shore take the Sixmilebridge road out of Broadford for about 2 kms. The lake is alongside the road and easy to find.

From the Creamery shore take the Tulla road from Broadford for about 4kms. The lake is again along side the road and easy to find.

Finally to get to the Dooras shore take the Tulla road from Broadford for about 6 kms. After crossing a bridge turn left, follow the signposting along a narrow road to Mulgueen's house. You will have to walk about 300m to the lakeshore at this point.
