Connacht - Lough Gill
Lough Gill
Co. Sligo
The open season for salmon and trout isfrom 1 January to 30 September; for brown trout, from 1 March to 30 September. Gill is a large lough, nearly 6.5 miles long from east to west and 2.5miles wide at its widest point. it lies about 3 miles east of Sligo.
There is public access to the lough from a pier on the south side of the mouth of the Garavogue River, at innisfree pier and from the pier at sriff Bay in the East. This lough holds brown trout and salmon, it gets a big run of spring salmon and anglers are out from the first day.February and March are regarded as good months and also is may, but after that the salmon fishing is over for the season. Gill also holds a stock of good brown trout.
They tend to be dour and slow to take and anglers concentrate a lot of their trout fishing efforts on the mayfly season from mid May to mid June. Some of the best trout fishing areas are on the west side from Holywell to Church Island and around Aughamore Rock.
Dapping the natural mayfly can be very productive and brings up some of the best trout. Spent-gnat fishing is also available, as the female mayfly return to the water to lay their eggs.
