Lough Corrib is 42,000 acres in size and stretches in length from within
4 miles of Galway City to within 2 miles of Maum Bridge, a distance of
33 miles. The Lough is renowned for its wild brown trout and salmon fishing.
Brown trout fishing is usually good from the first day of the season and
the salmon fishing for grilse is best from around the end of May. Trout
can be caught on wet fly from opening day, Feb. 15th.
Each season, a number of specimen brown trout are caught on the lough,
and the record stands at around 21.5lb, caught in September 2002. There
are boats for hire at several locations around the lough, and boatmen
are also available at most boat stations. Angling on Lough Corrib is free.
