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.

This reservoir is situated just south of the A36 Ballymena-Larne road. Bank fishing is easy in normal water levels, but care should be taken when the levels drop in late summer as patches of soft mud can cause problems. Killylane is unusual in that it is entirely dependent on natural recruitment and the trout are small-by reservoir standards-but fight well. It fishes best in April and gets a small hatch of black chironomids. Useful fly patterns are Blae and Black, Mullard and Claret, Sooty Olive...

For the tout angler its main interest is the dollaghan, a unique...
