Shannon's Lough Derg Pike and Coarse Fishery

Shannon’s Lough Derg Pike and Coarse Fishery covers the coarse and pike angling on Lough Derg, managed through the Shannon regional fisheries in County Clare.

Lough Derg is the largest lake on the Shannon system and has a long-standing reputation for pike, along with bream, roach, rudd, tench and hybrids in its bays and shallower margins. Anglers fish from boats and from shore marks around the lake, with quiet water, wooded shorelines and abundant birdlife adding to the day. Check current permit requirements, conservation rules and any seasonal restrictions with the fisheries authority before fishing.
