Foreword
Lough Neagh is the biggest lake in Ireland and the British Isles, covering 160
square miles in total and draining close to half of Northern Ireland. Over the last
5 years, the Lough has seen many positive changes to its tourism and recreational
infrastructure with a large amount of European Development assistance targeted
at the Lough and surrounding areas.
One of the biggest untapped opportunities however, is in the area of angling
development. Angling on the river systems flowing in and out of the Lough is
already a premier quality product, with rivers like the Six Mile Water and the
Ballinderry River providing a rich run of Lough Neagh’s famous Dollaghan trout.

The Lough itself, also has a strong potential for angling development and an
independent study is presently underway to identify the best places to fish as well
Lough Neagh Partnership Chairperson
as the type of fish being caught. There is already a boatman and angling guide
service on the Lough, and with the agreement of the Lough Neagh Fishermens Eel
Co-operative and support from the Lough Neagh Partnership, the future for
angling looks very positive.
This fishing guide is really the first stage in the process of telling people about the
wonderful angling resource that is available and I am sure there are many more
good news fishing stories to tell.
