Fishery Description

Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel controls fishing on Lough Inagh and Derryclare Lough and the short river connecting them, as well as Greenpoint Beat on the river downstream of Derryclare. This is the main fishery on the Ballynahinch system upstream, and provides good salmon and sea trout fishing from May onwards. Salmon move upstream on floods from May, with sea trout running in numbers from July, and the main lake can provide excellent fishing right to the end of the season. Greenpoint, Derryclare Butts and Corloo are famous pools on the connecting rivers that produce a lot of fish, while anglers on Lough Inagh tend to concentrate on the northern end, but depending on wind direction fish can be found along most shorelines. Lough Inagh also has a good stock of brown trout averaging 0.5lbs, but with some fish up to 12lbs, believed to be ferox or sea trout that have stayed on in freshwater. There are also a few Arctic char caught every year.
