The River Drowes is regarded as one of the premier salmon fisheries in the country and frequently produces the first Salmon of the season on opening day on January 1st. The river is some 5 and half miles in length with over 70 named pools. It has a mix of excellent fly water and slower deeper pools suitable for spinning and bait fishing. The river is very accessible with wooden walkways along much of its bank and good access from roads and bridges.
The drowse flows from Lough Melvin to the sea at Tullaghan. Where the river flows from Lough Melvin, at Lareen Estate we have 10 holiday cottages to cater for the needs of visiting anglers. The cottages range from 2 to 4 bed and can accommodate groups of between 2 and 8 people. Also on the Estate we have an on site, freezing and drying facilities and boats and engines are available for Lough Melvin. Melvin is rightly famous for its salmon and trout fishing and remains today one of the few examples of a post-glacial salmonid Lough and it is still in a relatively pristine state. The quality of the angling can be extraordinary and it is this, together with the unique fish fauna, the draws and attracts the anglers. The Lough holds salmon char and perch in addition to trout, but it is the trout that are of primary interest to most anglers. It is generally accepted by fishery scientists that there are four genetically distinct races of trout in the Lough. These are brown trout, Ferox trout, Gillaroo trout and Sonaghan trout – each clearly distinguishable by coloration, size and shape. While they may share the same spawning grounds, they do not interbreed and indeed the Ferox trout are found only in one particular river. |
