They are also one of the oldest trout races to colonise Ireland, perhaps as old as 50,000 years. Ferox cannibalise brown trout (which returned to many of the same lakes when geological processes and climatic conditions allowed) and also prey on other fish species. The best method of capture is trolling, particularly with a Rapala type lure. [10]
The Ballinderry River flows into Lough Neagh at Ballinderry. The river has formed the border between the two counties of Londonderry and Tyrone since the creation of the former. It is regarded by anglers as one of the best trout rivers in Ulster, and is also good for salmon. One variety of trout, known as dollaghan, is native to the Lough Neagh ...
It has been argued that only nine species of freshwater fish are truly native to Ireland — five char species, pollan, eel, brown trout and Atlantic salmon — as Ireland's fresh water was entirely frozen during the last glacial period, only diadromous fish could repopulate Irish waters after the Ice Age. All other freshwater species were ...
Lough Inagh is noted for its lake and river fishing with spring salmon, grilse and sea trout (depending on season), and the fishing is mostly done from boats, however, the lake is too big for rowing and an outboard motor is recommended (there are a couple of submerged rocks so caution should be taken).
Also found were eels, flounder, stickleback and stone loach. While the volumes of most fish varieties, including trout, had increased since a narrower study in 2011, the river sites tested were all rated "poor" for fish ecology by Inland Fisheries Ireland. [5] At the upper end of the estuary there is a location where swans gather. [6]
The River Nanny (Irish: An Ainí), [1] also called the Nanny Water, is a river that flows from Kentstown into the Irish Sea at Laytown.The river is known for its trout fishing, and its estuary on the Irish sea provides a haven for wintering birds.
There is good sea trout fishing at Liscooley and Killygordan and from Ballybofey to Bellanamore Bridge. The Finn and its tributary the Reelan are probably the most prolific salmon and grilse rivers in Donegal and indeed throughout the Foyle catchment. [4] Fish species such as roach, perch, eels and brown trout are caught in the Finn system. [3]
The Little Brosna is a historic and popular angling river, particularly known for its brown trout. [14] An electric fishing survey of the river at Riverstown was conducted in September 2012 by Inland Fisheries Ireland. Species noted here were brown trout (87), lamprey (1), salmon (38) and stone loach (7). [15]
