Fishing on Lough Derg

On of the best angling locations close to Puckane is Lough Derg. The season on Lough Derg runs from March 15th to September 30th. Lough Derg is a large lake of over 30 kilometers in length and is regarded as a mixed fishery. Lake brown trout are indigenous to Lough Derg and are well distributed throughout the lake.

While the season opens in March, the height of the angling year is undoubtedly during the Mayfly season in late April/early May. Fish feed ferociously on mayfly and are in prime condition as they leave the lake on their migratory journey up river to their spawning grounds on the Little Brosna and Camcor rivers.

Access to Lough Deg is excellent at a number of points including the following - Co Clare or western shore at Killaloe, Scariff, Mountshannon, Rossmore and Williamstown Harbours, Whitegate, Portumna Bay Co Galway, Eastern shore, Terryglass, Kilgarvan, Coolbaun, Luska Bay and Dromineer.
