inch level lough

This is a large, shallow expanse of water between Inch Island in Lough Swilly and the mainland at Burnfoot. The water is brackish and the level is maintained by means of floodgates in the dam wall. It now holds occasional salmon and sea trout but was once noted as one of the greatest sea trout fisheries in Donegal. The trout are mainly taken on sand eels and by spinning, through you many still chance to get one on a Teal Blue and Silver or Peter Ross off the cormer of the dam. Permission: Not usually required.
