Introduction
Welcome to County Monaghan - an fisherman's paradise
with a multitude of lakes and rivers with angler access.
Characterised by a natural drumlin landscape, the County
and its’ surrounding neighbours – Cavan, Fermanagh,
Armagh, Tyrone and Louth – provide easy access to
quality fishing, interesting sightseeing and lively night-time
entertainment.
Our lakes and rivers are here for your enjoyment and coarse
anglers will find good stocks of bream, roach, rudd, hybrids,
tench, pike, eels and perch. Game anglers can enjoy salmon
fishing as well as wild, brown and rainbow trout fishing.
Fishing guide services and boat hire are available on request
and there is plenty of good advice and helpful local knowledge
freely available from Monaghan anglers. Bait is available
from a number of outlets throughout the county and can be
arranged in advance. Many anglers return annually to enjoy
the calm and current of the waters, the thrill of the catch,
the joy of the trophy and the telling of the tale among Monaghan’s
beautiful hills.
There are a number of well-established angling centres in
the County and a host of fishing venues that will cater to
the needs of all anglers. The main centres are Ballybay,
Carrickmacross, Castleblayney, Clones and Monaghan but there
are also a number of smaller towns and villages that would
act as suitable bases for your angling trip.
This guide is divided into two sections. The first section
covers Coarse and Pike Fishing. The second section deals
with Trout and Salmon Fishing. Some of the major statutory
bye-laws for each are outlined at the beginning of the relevant
section but anglers should check locally before fishing.
