ANGLING ReGULAtIONS OpEn SEASOn 1st April-30th September SIzE LIMIT 12 inches/30cm BAg LIMIT Four trout TrOLLIng An angler may use only one rod while trolling. Not more than two trolling rods may be used from a boat. LOUgH ArrOW Lough Arrow is one of the outstanding brown trout fisheries of Ireland. It is famous for the quality of its trout and it was here that the INFORmAtION SAFETY The main body of Lough Arrow is relatively deep and therefore safe for the use of an outboard. Care should always be exercised in the bays, crossing the points of headlands, islands and close to the shores. There are particularly extensive and dangerous shallows off Dodd’s shore, Hargadon’s Point and south of Andresna Point at the entrance to Drumdoe Bay. In general, individual and small groups of rock are marked by distinctive rock markers. A single marker may signify the presence of a number of rocks in the vicinity. However, anglers should not assume that every rock, or every group of rocks, is marked. Visiting anglers, in particular, are strongly advised to exercise caution. Those unfamiliar with the lake should avail of the services of local boatmen or angling guides. All boat users are required by law to wear a personal floatation device.

Trolling is also practiced at this time of year but this method of fishing is not generally encouraged – see regulations. FISHIng TACKLE Fly rods are a matter of personal choice. Floating, intermediate and sinking tip lines may all be required at certain times. Clear monofilament is preferred for making leaders (casts) and it should be fine and degreased for fishing the dry fly and pupa.
