Fishing in Co Longford
County Longford, located in the heart of Ireland, is a great destination for coarse fishing, offering numerous lakes, rivers, and canals offering quality bream, tench, hybrids, roach, rudd and huge pike. Strokestown lies on the border of counties Longford and Roscommon, this attractive town is located in the heart of superb bream, rudd and tench fishing. Larger pike are present, especially in deeper waters and near weed beds.
South of Strokestown you will find Lough Ree known for its large bream, roach and pike. One of Ireland's largest lakes, Lough Ree provides excellent fishing opportunities with numerous access points. Boats can be hired locally for those wishing to fish further out or explore different parts of the river. The River Inny is a slow-flowing river that flows into Lough Ree and has scenic fishing spots with good fishing for bream, roach, perch, pike and tench.
The River Shannon runs along the western boundary of County Longford and offers diverse fishing spots, particularly around Lanesborough. Fish for bream, roach, dace, perch and pike. The warm water discharge from the power station at Lanesborough makes the Hot Water Stretch a hotspot for anglers, especially during the colder months.
Lough Cloonahee is a smaller lake in a peaceful setting with tench, rudd and perch fishing. The Royal Canal passes through Longford town. The canal sections offer accessible fishing with a steady water flow. Fish for bream, roach, perch and pike. Put in a little effort and you can enjoy great sport in little fished waters of great potential. Boat hire can often be a bonus for better access on some lakes.
The northern end of the county takes in several of the top class Gowna lakes. Lough Gowna, located on the border of Longford and Cavan has multiple bays and islands, providing sheltered fishing areas for bream, roach, perch, pike and rudd. Boats can be hired locally for those wishing to fish further out or explore different parts of the lake. Derries Bay on the north-western part of Lough Gowna provides sheltered waters and easy access to good bream and roach fishing. Swan Island located in the central part of the lake is accessible by boat and has excellent perch and pike fishing.
Dernaferst is a popular spot for bream and hybrid fishing with good access and facilities nearby. Cloone Lake is a smaller, quieter lake on the Lough Gowna system known for its tench and rudd fishing.
Spring and Summer are the prime time for coarse fishing, with fish being more active in warmer waters. Pike fishing can be particularly productive during colder months. Wherever you fish in Ireland, the chances of catching fish are hugely improved by pre-baiting to attract fish into your chosen swim. Ideally this is done the evening before (or for a couple of days) using breadcrumb or local maize meal carrying particle baits such as sweetcorn, boiled wheat, hemp and pellets. Early morning and late evening are generally more productive as fish tend to feed more actively during these times.
