Fishery Focus: Costello & Fermoyle
Listen now
Description
The Costello & Fermoyle fishery in Connemara is one that evokes historic nostalgia mentioned as it was in Kingsmill Moore’s A Man May Fish as a favourite location of his for sea trout.   The fishery comprises the Casla River and a series of lakes, including Glenicmurrin, Fermoyle, Clogher, and the Schoolhouse Loughs, set in beautiful scenery against the backdrop of the Twelve Pins mountains.   Although the numbers of sea trout are not as they once were, the Costello & Fermoyle fishery is still a popular one for anglers chasing salmon and sea trout in historic surroundings and for this week’s fishery focus episode Tom spoke to the fishery manager, Brian Curran, to find out more about the river and loughs in this incredible location.   To find out more about fishing on Costello & Fermoyle, contact Brian at: https://www.irelandwestangling.ie/ Rate, review and follow the show to keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly episodes on Apple or Spotify, plus you can sign up for our newsletter on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.
