THE FISHERY

Click on thumbnail map to display a larger map

This is a large body of water about 100 acres , 5 kms long and 0.5kms wide. It is located in the northern part of East Clare, 5 kms north of Feakle village.

This is a beautiful scenic lake with some islands and surrounded by hills on both sides. The village of Cahir lies off the southern shore and Flagmount is midway along the eastern shoreline. This is an ideal lake for the Pike angler, holding a good stock of quality Pike but for best results a boat is essential. Boats can be launched at Cahir and Flagmount piers.

For the coarse angler it is possible to fish off an extended fishing stand off Cahir pier . The remaining shoreline is rocky. Good bags of Bream and Roach have been recorded here and also at Flagmount pier. It is best to fish at the far end of the car park (northern end) at Flagmount where you will find better depth. There are also solid swims along the shoreline but necessitates a walk to locate them. A very popular fishing stand is located on the western shore.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS 

There is a car park and access is good. At Cahir Pier there is a fishing catwalk leading to an extended fishing stand of about 30 meters, capable of accommodating comfortably 6 anglers with gear.  On the western shore opposite Flagmount a very popular fishing stand is available especially when there is a strong westerly wind. This stand is capable of  accommodating up to 4 anglers.

TO GET THERE

From Tulla take the Feakle road and the lake is located about 5 kms to the north of Feakle village.

ANGLING CONTRIBUTION FOR LOUGH GRANEY

From Alan Quigley  Westbourne Lodge Flagmount Co Clare Tel Number: 086 3873067 Email Address: adq@iolfree.ie

Lough Graney situated in east Clare is Clare's biggest lake and very prolific in a variety of specimen fish. From good double pike ( Please put them back, as we all know pike thrive on neglect), massive perch, and large ferox trout, along with the millions of roach and bream hybrids. There are three good places to fish from if you enjoy bank fishing. The main peg in Cahir, two piers in Flagmount village, and a secret peg just down from Killanena. The scenery is spectacular, and the fishing fantastic. So treat yourself and tight lines.
