The northern route through Roosky, Carrick-on-Shannon and Boyle will take you through a pure and authentic Ireland like a fairy tale. The River Shannon is so beautiful!
Lake Ree, near Athlone, is a place where every angler can satisfy their passions. Lake Key is another such spot. The town of Boyle, on the shores of this lake, boasts a magnificent 12th century abbey. In the small town of Clondara, on the other hand, you can connect to the Royal Canal, which was reopened in 2010.
You don't need a permit to fish. Fishing is the number one sport in Ireland and catch-and-release fishing is not infrequently practised.
