Lough Sheelin is the most northerly of the midland Loughs.
The Lough is oval in shape covering over 4500 acres and is shallow in nature.
It has a high Ph like all limestone Loughs and an abundance of insect
life. Sheelin lies in a sheltered basin and is surrounded by trees so
it is rarely un-fishable. There are many shoals of coarse fish fry in this
lake and at times the trout feed avidly on these. Sheelin fishes well
to dry flies at most times of the year. This lake also holds double figure
brown trout and is possibly your best chance of catching one on the
fly. The fishing season is from March 1st until October 12th.
Sheelin is part of the Shannon region fisheries and as such requires a
S.R.F.B. permit (cost 30 euro.)
