With the help of Inland Fisheries, Clones Coarse Anglers Club, Erne Anglers AC, DCAL Fisheries and the National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland the project will oversee the upgrading of the angling infrastructure at several lakes in the Clones Urban and Erne East (Fermanagh) areas.  The project will provide new stands to venues old and new, including some disabled platforms increasing accessibility to the local community and visiting angler.

The Clones Erne East area encapsulates some really good wild fishing venues for both the pleasure and match angler.   It is fortunate to be part of the Erne catchment and Dromore system and includes the Finn River.
