Lough Brantry
Species: Brown trout.
Season: 1st March - 31st October
Methods: Fly fishing only from boat and shore.
Limits: 4 trout per rod per day. Minimum takable size 25.4cm.
Licence: DCAL Game Fishing Rod Licence.
Permit: DDCAL Game Fishing Permit.
Boats: Fishing is permitted from non-mechanical boats only
Disabled Access: Two wheelchair accessible fishing stands are provided near the main car park. This area has a level tarmac surface. The remainder of the lough has a good hardcore path with kissing gates rather than stiles to facilitate anglers with walking difficulties.

This popular venue provides good brown trout fishing with over 5000 takeable trout stocked throughout the season. It is a sheltered limestone lough with hatches of chironomids, olives, sedges, even some mayfly, and a good fall of terrestrial insects giving rise to some excellent evening fishing to the dry fly. A good ploy is to fish a dry Mayfly, Gnat, Buzzer or Sedge according to season if the trout start showing at the surface in the evening. A surfaced path surrounds the lake and angling stands have been provided. Care should be taken when wading the bay in the south east corner by the car park as the bottom is soft and boggy in places.
