Fishing

There's tons of fishing to do along the entire length of the Shannon and Erne waterways, from Belleek at the top all the way down to Killaloe at the bottom.

With Killynick Marina as your starting point, it's a gentle cruise down Lough Erne or Shannon waterways.

Alternatively, head north from the Woodford River and you're quickly onto Lough Erne, with it's 365 islands, secluded bays and tranquil inlets. Through the trees you'll glimpse Crom Castle (setting for the BBC's 'Blandings' series); or sail on past Belle Isle and Carrybridge in time to catch a show at the Ardhowen, the theatre down by the lakeside.

Course fishing includes Pike, Perch, Roach, Bream and others. Appropriate fishing licence is required. Moor at a jetty in the heart of Enniskillen for some shopping, play a round at Lough Erne Golf Resort or visit the world-famous Belleek Pottery...whether your passion is for fishing or photography, fine-dining or a pint, there's always something new to explore as you cruise along the lakes and rivers of the Erne and Shannon. And having a private berth at our new marina is the perfect place to begin your adventures!
