angling around ballinasloe portumna

The River Suck in Ballinasloe is deep and slow - it is probably Ireland's most productive coarse fishing river. There are great shoals of bream to 8Ibs everywhere and throughout the summer bags in excess of 100Ibs are common.

The stretch south of the town near Coreen ford has an excellent stock of tench to 6Ibs and rudd to 2Ibs are common. There is good road access at Coulagh and access at Dalysgrove north of Ballinasloe is over private property and permission should be sought.
