Portumna offers good fishing waters which have a good track record. There are several prime angling hotspots, a number which are official match stretches located on the river Shannon itself and the Northern Shores of Lough Derg.
On the river there are two stretches up and downstream of Portumna, known locally as the lower ‘town stretches’ or Rogers Island and upper ESB stretch called Fairyhill. On the Galway bank farther upriver there is the Salmon Run and the Old Sheebeen Stretch which are back to back with a shared access road.
On the County Tipperary bank there are a couple of stretches, Milne’s of Ballymacegan Friars Lough a few kms away near Lorrha village offers further angling possibilities for the angler. ( Friar’s Lough – permission is required to fish here).
Spring fishing can be brilliant as shoals of Roach and Hybrids leave the vast waters of Lough Derg, move upstream into the river around Portumna. From June through to late October the river returns to normal with a more even spread of species, including some Bream.
