Broadford & Feakle, Co Clare
FISHERY AREA: East Clare Lakelands
 LOCATION
The villages of Tulla, Broadford & Feakle are surrounded by some 30 to 40 lakes collectively referred to as the East Clare
Lakelands. They are grouped between the River Fergus & Lakes to the west and
Lough Derg to the east. Limerick City to the southeast is just a short drive
away. Shannon Airport is also only a relatively short drive from this rural heartland.
WHERE TO FISH
This is a large coarse angling area with many lakes
developed by the Shannon Regional Fisheries Board in terms of access and
facilities. There are also a number of lakes with wheelchair facilities for
disabled anglers. In addition, Tulla and District Coarse Angling Association are very actively involved in development programmes for the area
in collaboration with the Shannon Regional Fisheries Board.
The Irish Specimen Fish Committee frequently verify
specimen caught fish from the system. In 2002, 14 tench of 26 in
total from around Ireland were verified by the committee in this area. Of those 14 , 7 tench
were verified from Lakyle alone. Specimens are produced year in year out on a
number of these fisheries, some go un-reported.
