Carrick-on-Shannon is one of Ireland’s finest angling holiday centres with a vast choice of river venues – including the famous “Mudflats” on the River Shannon with 40 modern fishing stands and car parking. There are more than 30 lakes within easy reach and they offer great sport with tench, bream, roach, hybrids, pike and perch.

The Shannon continues to produce good bream catches, though roach and hybrids play an important role. There are about 20 local lakes and stretches of river that produce good general coarse fishing. The canalised Shannon-Erne Waterway adds another dimension.
