FISHING

​

It is public fishing at Lough Arrow renowned for wild brown trout, and so no permit is required.  The trout season runs from 1st April - 31st September. A total of 4 fish can be bagged. Min length 12 inch.  May is particularly popular with fishing when the May fly hatch – so please book in advance.

Lough Arrow is one of 5 unique Loughs that has naturally bred stock and is mainly spring fed and limestone based.  Pike are also caught in Lough Arrow but neighbouring Lough Key, a 10 minute drive away is better known for pike fishing.
