Angling in Longford

Probably most famous for spring sport Lanesborough and the prolific warm water stretch on the River Shannon where tench, bream, roach and hybrids feature strongly. However, just a few miles from there is the little known boat basin in Clondra Village, for big rudd, bream and tench. And just a short walk from there is the River Camlin – a small tributary of the Shannon – but quite brilliant when the main river is in flood.   North Longford has the biggest share of famous Lough Gowna and in the past year it has been plundered by anglers getting huge catches of bream after pre-baiting.
