wild brown trout as well as stocked rainbow and brown trout. The famous
sonaghan, ferox and gillaroo can also be found in these diverse waters.

Europe, with bream, roach and hybrids in abundance as well as perch and tench.
Add to this pike fishing that is second to none - whether seeking to catch them
on fly or in a more traditional manner and the region offers all anglers
wonderful opportunities.
Lough Erne is made up of the Upper Lough East of Enniskillen and the Lower Lough which runs west to Belleek. The Lough is a mixed coarse and game fishery. The game angling, in the main, takes place on the Lower Lough although
trout are found throughout the system. The Lower Lough is a large expanse of water, over 15 miles long with numerous islands and bays. These provide vast areas of shallow water and rocky shores making for ideal fishing grounds.
Although a limited number of salmon run the Lough wild brown trout are the quarry and the Lough holds an excellent head of fish.
Sitting on the western end of Co. Fermanagh 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.
