Game fishing in the Midlands

    Hello,

    I'm based here in Co. Longford and was hoping someone could recommend a fairly local spot (Roscommon, Cavan, Westmeath Leitrim) for fly fishing. Everywhere I know of is mainly course fishing, the only few places that come to mind are the big lakes (Sheelin, Owel, Ennel) and I found these are not great without a boat.. ideally I'd be looking for a small lake or river.

    If anyone could even point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

    Ciaran

    You could try Pallas.
    There are "put and take" small rainbow lakes at Rathvilla, Edenderry, and Laois Angling Centre, and beside Ennell (ask at the Mullingar tackle shop).

    Hi Ciaran, Try White Lake between Oldcastle and Fore. You can arrange to rent a small rowboat from "the 7 Wonders" pub in Fore.
    Engines are neither allowed nor needed on this beautiful small lake.
    I would not recommend you to fish the shore as there is a marl bottom in places. Very dangerous! Tight lines!
