Lough Sheelin, with its huge stock of large native brown trout is also less than an hour away.
The incomparable Moy river, known and fished by anglers from all over the world, is unmatched for the thousands of salmon it yields every year and is less than one and a half hours away. (In 2010 it yielded 12,000 salmon)

There is a wealth of local knowledge available within the local community as fishing is serious business in this part of the world.
