The Adventure Starts Here

Co. Fermanagh

The Erne System, Upper and Lower Loughs Erne.

A huge amount of water with both still waters and flowing waters. In winter and spring the flowing waters are where the large roach and bream shoals are and during periods of mild weather, fishing at distance can produce good sport. In spring early summer vast shoals migrate the system and once located big bags are possible. During periods of clear water (zebra mussels have an effect here) you have to fish at range, but if its overcast and there's some natural colour you can catch much closer.

Centres: Enniskillen, Carrybridge, Killadeas, Irvinestown, Ballinamuck

LOWER BANN

Good access and great fishing. Roach, Hybrids and Bream are the mainstay here, they do move up and down the system and can be caught right through the seasons. Spring and autumn are best for roach and hybrids, but some huge weights of big bream (8 to 10 pounders) are caught in the warm summer months.

Centres: Port Glenone, Kilrea, Bellaghy/Newferry
