Located in the northwest of Ireland in the counties of Leitrim and Fermanagh, the lake covers an area of 2000 ha and is famous for its early “run” of Atlantic salmon. In relatively pristine condition, the lake and surrounding catchment area (265 km²) is valued for its recreational, heritage and environmental values by anglers, tourists, scientists and the local community This is one of Ireland’s most famous loughs. It is home to three distinct species of trout – the magic Sonaghan, the Gillaroo and the Ferox – as well as enjoying a run of spring salmon and grilse. Fishing starts in February with the arrival of the first salmon and continues through the months with grilse from May to July and wonderful trout fishing throughout the season.Trolling is the most used method for the springers but fly fishing for the sonaghan and gillaroo, as well as the grilse, is excellent.Whilst the gillaroo feeds chiefly on crustacea the sonaghan feed on the daphnia and emerging insects. |
