Fishery manager Colin Folan reports on Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel‘s first salmon of the season…
Andrew Crouchman (UK), landed the first Salmon of 2018 on Tuesday May 8. The fish was caught at The Derryclare Butts on a Collie Dog and tipped the scales at 12.5lbs. This is right on cue as the first fish is usually landed in early May.
Water levels are rising and hopefully a few more fish will appear.

Go fishing…
Loughs Derryclare and Inagh lie in the lovely Inagh Valley with the Twelve Pins (Bens) of Connemara rising steeply to the west, and the Maumturk Mountain range to the east. There are two short connecting rivers, which contain four river beats. The fishery has spring salmon, grilse, sea trout and large indigenous brown trout. In recent years the fishery has seen a resurgence of fish numbers, and in 2010 – 2012, the fishery has produced Salmon to 15lbs, Sea Trout to 5lbs and Brown Trout to 12lbs.
