Lough Erne: A Fisherman’s Paradise
In case you didn’t know, County Fermanagh, in the south west of Northern Ireland, is renowned for its remarkable natural beauty, and at the heart of this splendid landscape lies our very own Lough Erne. This expansive system of interconnected lakes (which is actually the river Erne) offers an oasis for anglers of all levels, making it a prime destination for a fishing holiday in Ireland. Fisherfolk who stay here love the peace and quiet so close to the water.
A Fishermen’s Oasis
Did you know, Lough Erne boasts a diverse range of fish species, including:
- Salmon: The majestic salmon are a prized catch for many anglers, with the best fishing season typically from late spring to autumn.
- Trout: Lough Erne is home to both brown and ferox trout, providing exciting challenges for both fly and lure anglers.
- Pike: This formidable predator offers thrilling sport, with opportunities for both boat and shore fishing.
- Perch: A popular target for many anglers, perch can be found throughout the lough, offering consistent action.
So you’re bound to find something that floats your boat!
Fishing Licenses
However, before you cast your line, remember to obtain a valid fishing license. You can purchase licenses online or from local tackle shops in Enniskillen. We want our anglers to fish safely and legally!
