Alice Murtagh from Inland Fisheries Ireland’s office in Corlesmore, Co. Cavan tells us about fishing in the area:

A few anglers who fished the Carrigallen area reported that fishing was a bit slow in the past few days, most likely due to the bright weather conditions.

However, fishing on Dereskit proved to be quite decent. Good Rudd and Roach were caught between St Johns and Kiltybarden while Lock Five on Canal at Ballinamore is fishing very well.

Good reports of sizeable bags of fish on Derrycassan also.

All areas in Cootehill are reported to have good fishing, including  Killyvaughan, Bairds Shore and the Dromore River with plenty of Bream, Tench, Roach and Perch.
