    Nope. Think the season usually opens around the middle of feb sometime.

    If you were going to a stocked fishery (brown & rainbow) then I take it you could, where as an unmanaged lake/lough comes under the same rules as rivers.

    I maybe wrong...

    It varies with each lake doesn't it? You should check what the season is for whatever lake you're thinking of fishing. E.g. Up here (Sligo) I know there are opening dates of Feb 15th, Mar 1st, Mar 15th and April 1st for various wild trout lakes in the area. You can find dates for some places on http://www.fishinginireland.info but you might need to check locally for most up to date info.
