Fishery Description

This fishery is located north of the Roundstone-Ballyconneely road, about 4km from Ballyconneely. Formerly a good sea trout fishery, it along with much of Connemara suffered greatly from the sea trout collapse of the 1980s/90s and is now better known for brown trout fishing. There are a number of loughs, including Maumeen, Emlaghkeeragh, Barrowen, Carrick, Aturtaun, Bollard and Nalowney. These loughs are all connected by small rivers, and hold good stocks of trout averaging 0.5lbs, with some bigger fish. The lower loughs – Maumeen, Barrowen and Emlaghleeragh get a run of sea trout from July, with the very occasional salmon.
