Lough Conn and Cullen
The fishing on Loughs Cullen and Conn is free and we have access to boats & ghillies on both lakes.
On Lough Conn and Cullen no permission is required. Just arrive and fish for free for Brown Trout, Pike, Perch and Salmon. (You must have a Salmon State Licence if fishing for Salmon.)
Both lakes are world renowned for wild Salmon, Brown Trout, Pike and Perch Fishing.

Great Pike Fishing
There are two dedicated Pike lakes within 10 minutes of the Lodge, Levally Lake and Derryhick lake. Lough Conn and Lough Cullen are netted by the Fisheries Board for Pike and they are released into the two lakes.

Salt Water Sea Trout
We can also arrange Salt Water Fly Fishing for Sea Trout on the Moy Estuary, Ballina.
