Dromoland Castle

Fishing

At Dromoland Castle

“Messing about in boats” is an enduring pleasure. As a resident, you’ll have unlimited access to complimentary boating and fishing equipment, in case you’d like to row out into the well-stocked Dromoland Lough and see about catching yourself some dinner. We can’t guarantee the fish are always biting, but you can maximise your chances with the help of one of our professional ghillies. If you do land a winner, Chef would be delighted to prepare your catch. If you don’t, he’ll be delighted to prepare you something else.

Casting off in front of Dromoland Castle is an experience you are unlikely to forget. Our beautiful lake, Dromoland Lough, is generously stocked with trout, perch and other course fish, making it a perfect spot for keen or novice fishers.

Never fished before? No worries. Our resident ghillies are here to help, guiding you in the art of casting, placing bait, and, hopefully, landing a catch!

Maybe you’d like to fish from the lakeshore or cast-off in the middle of the lake from one of the estate boats. All fish are returned alive to the water, but, should you fancy a meal to remember, why not ask for your catch to be brought to the kitchen and cooked to your requirements by chef.

Fishing is complimentary for guests and professional ghillies can be arranged at a cost of €100 for 3 hours (2 people). Advance reservations are required.
