About

Loch Airigh na Lic is accessible and has some good bank fishing.
The area boasts an abundance of brown trout, typically averaging around 6 ounces, although occasional catches of trout weighing up to 3 pounds have been reported. Following heavy rainfall from July onwards, the loch sees the arrival of sea trout via the Glen River. These sea trout are primarily finnock, ranging from 8 to 14 ounces, but larger sea trout weighing up to 3 pounds and the occasional grilse have also been landed in the past.
Successful flies for both brown and sea trout in this area include the Donegal blue, Kate Maclaren, Black Pennell, and Zulus.
