The Lakes, rivers and streams in Clare are rich in salmon, brown
trout and a wide variety of coarse fish, including pike, bream,
tench and rudd, whilst the gentle waters of Galway Bay are a haven
for sea angling.
Dotted with almost 40 lakes, the lakelands
of East Clare have quality services and facilities for the angler
whilst the unrivalled asset of Lough Derg and the Shannon waterway
provide both game and coarse angling. Corofin is right at the heart
of a lake-complex, which forms part of the Fergus headwaters and
also offers excellent coarse and game fishing.
Boats can be chartered from: Kilrush Marina, Liscannor Bay,
Miltown Malbay, Quilty and from many places along the Shannon
Estuary including Killaloe, Portumna Mountshannon. One of the
largest of the Shannon hire- cruiser enterprises is based at Doonbeg
at the mouth of the Cooraclare or Doonbeg River, close to the
beaches of Seafield, Lough Donnell and Quilty. All of these beaches
provide good shore angling for pollock, bass and mackerel. Doolin is
another good spot for shore angling.
