The Adventure Starts Here

Co. Westmeath

Athlone is Westmeath's best known angling holiday centre thanks to the high standard of fishing on the Shannon. Styles have changed along with the balance of fish stocks and these days a net full of roach is as likely as 50lb of bream. Take you pole, feeder and waggler rod to cope with variations offered and to try the Suck, narrow River Inny and the vast Lough Ree. Other options for a day out could be the Grand Canal at Tullamore or the Royal Canal at Mullingar.
