The
Una Bhan region is renowned for its fishing venues.
The rivers, lakes and streams carry an abundance of
coarse fishing including pike, rudd, roach, bream and
eel.
The Boyle River
runs from Lough Gara (near Ballaghaderreen) through
Boyle town and on to Lough Key, has a great diversity
of coarse angling. Tench to 6lbs are common in this
area, and the head of roach is excellent here with mixed
bags to 80lbs.The current Irish pike record of over
39lbs was caught on Lough Key in 1993. Boats are available
on the lake for hire and competitions are held regularly.
