Loughmacrory & Murrins District Angling Association Still in it's infancy, the Loughmacrory Angling Association is the first port of call for anyone interested in fishing on the lough. The club is open to all to join, young and old alike, and has some exciting plans for the future to transform the lough into one of the top fishing destinations in the country. The 53 acre lough is home to wild brown trout, brown eels, perch and stocked rainbow trout - only the rainbow trout are permitted to be taken by anglers. There are some fishing jetties on the lough for anglers, and anglers are encouraged to use barbless hooks. All fish less than 9 inches in length are to be released, all brown trout are to be released, and anglers are permitted to take no more than 2 rainbow trout over 9 inches on any day. All anglers must be advised that it is now illegal to fish the lough without a permit, and a rod licence. The Loughs Agency now police the site, to ensure that the brown trout are protected, and that no illegal fishing is taking place. Rod licences, day tickets and season tickets to fish the lough can be purchased in Conway's Day Today shop in Loughmacrory or in C.A. Andersons in Omagh. The season runs from 1st of March to 20th of October each year. The club has a very strong Committee, with experts from a wide range of fishing-related fields. The club also has a junior committee, and is delighted with the level of interest in fishing from the younger members of the community. In the future you can expect to see angling academies, competition events, and the work that has to be done to make the lough more accessible for fishing. Loughmacrory lake is an ideal destination for anglers with physical impairments, as the jetties can be utilised by wheelchair users. Boat Hire Adults only can hire boats.
