Licence Authority - Loughs Agency - While there is a good head of Brown
Trout in all of these medium sized (5- 20m) rivers, with the Strule probably
being the best for this type of fishing, they are regarded more as Sea
Trout or Salmon waters. The Owenkillew would be the best for Sea Trout
with the two best months being June and July. There can be a few early
Salmon but it is generally from mid June to the end of the season that
the Salmon fishing is best depending on the water conditions. Fly fishing,
spinning and worming are all allowed and a Ghillie service at £50/day
can be arranged.
Day Tickets
There are an unlimited number of day tickets available from Monday to
Friday, at £12/rod/day. Six day tickets only are available at the
