The Rosses Fishery is set in arguably the most rugged and beautiful part of Ireland. The fishery is set in the North West of the county of Donegal and comprises over 120 lakes.
The Rosses Anglers Association manages access and activities on these waters.
Dungloe (An Clochan Liath) is the capital of the Rosses area and forms the focal point from which the many local and visiting anglers set out for an enjoyable days fishing.
Tá Iascach na Rossan suite in ceann do na ceantar is áille in Éirinn. Tá an t-iascach suite in iarthuaisceart chontae Dhún na nGall agus tá breis is 120 loch ann.
Is é an Chumann Iascairí na Rossan a déanann an bainistíocht ar rochtain agus ar ghníomhaíochtaí ar na huiscí seo.
Is í An Clochán Liath príomhchathair cheantar na Ros agus is í an pointe fócais í as a dtéann na hiascairí áitiúla agus na hiascairí cuairte amach le haghaidh lá taitneamhacha iascaireachta.
Angling Opportunities
The association offers anglers a diverse range of waters and fishing experiences. Whether your interest lies in pursuing wild brown trout and sea trout in traditional settings, or exploring stocked waters, there is something here for everyone.
For those who enjoy the challenge of native fish, the surrounding rivers and lakes provide excellent opportunities, with strong stocks of hard-fighting brown and sea trout. For anglers interested in stocked fisheries, the recently developed Rainbow Trout Fishery at Lough Waskel offers quality fishing. The lake is stocked with Triploid Rainbow Trout averaging 2.5 lbs, with some specimens reaching up to 12 lbs—well-known for their strength and sporting qualities.
The area is also home to several rivers and lakes that see healthy runs of Atlantic salmon each year, offering a chance to fish in scenic, unspoiled surroundings. Beyond freshwater angling, the coastline nearby supports a thriving deep sea and rock fishing scene, adding to the variety available to visiting and local anglers alike.
Deiseanna Iascaireachta
Cuireann an cumann raon leathan uiscí agus eispéiris iascaireachta ar fáil do lucht iascaireachta. Cibé acu is fearr leat trucha donn fiáin agus breac mara a bhaint amach i suíomhanna traidisiúnta, nó iascaireacht i lochanna stoctha, tá rud éigin anseo do chách.
Do na hiascairí a thaitníonn leis an dúshlán a bhaineann le hiascach fiáin, tá lochanna agus aibhneacha sa cheantar a bhfuil dea-stoc de bhric dhonna agus bhric mhara iontu — iasc láidir agus fuinniúil. Maidir le hiascaireacht i lochanna stoctha, cuireann an loch nua iascaigh Lough Waskel deis ar ardchaighdeán ar fáil. Stoctar an loch le breac bogha báistí triploid meáchain mheánach 2.5 lb, le samplaí áirithe a shroicheann suas le 12 lb — ainmhithe a bhfuil cáil orthu as a neart agus a ndúshlán.
Tá aibhneacha agus lochanna sa cheantar freisin ina mbíonn maithe agus mórán bradán Atlantacha ag dul suas gach bliain, rud a chuireann deis ar fáil le haghaidh iascaireachta i dtimpeallacht álainn agus nádúrtha. Taobh amuigh den iascaireacht uisce úr, tá iascaireacht farraige domhain agus carraige ar fáil go fairsing ar an gcósta, rud a chuireann leis an éagsúlacht atá ar fáil d’iascairí áitiúla agus cuairteoirí araon.

Beyond the Fishing
Taobh amuigh den Iascaireacht
To focus solely on the fishing would be to overlook the many other attractions this beautiful corner of the North West has to offer. Between outings, visitors can enjoy scenic drives along the coast and inland routes to places like Cruit, Arlands, Carrickfinn, and Dooey. The Falcorrib coastal road, in particular, offers stunning views across the bay to islands such as Arranmore, Roninish, Iniskeragh, and Rutland.
Add to that the Maghery scenic drive, and it’s clear that the landscape here is as rewarding as the fishing. The Rosses is also home to a wealth of sandy beaches—unspoiled, peaceful, and preserved much as nature intended. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area offers pony trekking, moorland walks, and hill climbing, all set against a backdrop of wild and rugged beauty.
Tá níos mó na iascaireacht amháin sa cheantar álainn seo den Iarthuaisceart. Idir na turais iascaireachta, bainfidh cuairteoirí taitneamh as turais radharcacha cois cósta chuig áiteanna mar Chruit, Arlands, Carraig Fhinn agus Dumhaigh. Tá radharcanna áille le feiceáil ón mbóthar cósta i bhFalcharraibh, go háirithe amach ar na hoileáin mar Árainn Mhór, Rón Inis, Inis Céarach agus Rutlainn.
Tá neart tránna gainmheacha áille sa Rósa, gan mhilleadh agus fágtha mar a chruthaigh an dúlra iad.
Dóibh siúd a bhfuil spéis acu sa taobh amuigh, tá neart tránna gainmheacha áille sa Rósa, tá marcaíocht chapaill, siúlóidí ar na portaigh agus dreapadóireacht sléibhe ar fáil—ar fad suite i measc tírdhreacha fiáine agus álainne.
