There is a water here to suit all tastes. The angler seeking large open waters with the promise of outstanding bags of Bream and Roach can choose from the wider stretches of the rivers or large lakes such as Gowna, Oughter, Sillan, Upper Lough Erne, Lough McNean and Lough Ramor. Those in search of somewhere more intimate and secluded will find many smaller lakes and river stretches with plenty of fish.

Specimen hunters in search of large Tench, Bream and Pike will find many waters where their efforts will be rewarded. Recent fish stock surveys have revealed many coarse angling waters in the County with specimen fish.

Many opportunities exist for the specialist match angler to participate in the three and four day angling festivals. One of Ireland’s major international events is the British King of Clubs which is held annually in County Cavan.

Local festivals are held annually at Arvagh, Belturbet and Cootehill with one day open matches at many centres. Details of the principal events are published in the National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland (N.C.F.F.I.) Calendar of Events.
