Hi mate if you buy a book 7th edition by peter orielly, it gives huge information on every river and lake in ireland. If its rainbows your after any local newspaper, or even better still go to your google and type in / Places to flyfish northwest of ireland. Tight lines. Paul. Ps if you are learning from day one get some lessons and tips flies etc, well worth it.

it may be a wee bit out of your way, but down in fermanagh has some really good fly fishing spots which u can fish with the DCAL liscience and permit. i fished one call keenaghen, it was great, has stands on one side and can easly wade the other. caught 3 reall good 3lb+ brownies. some other good places up in the hills.

well i have the DCAL liscience and permit for its free for me.
my mum actualy booked me and my dad into a cottage which is kind of part of the lake. it is literaly 50 yards from the lake. its called keenaghen cottage. they have a website where u could get their number and they could maybe tell u.
if u go on to the dcal website theres a map on the left hand side showing u were u can fish
just type dcal fishing into google and go to the 1st link
