Doonbeg Fisheries

Doonbeg Community Development Ltd, under a holding company Doonbeg Fisheries Ltd., is leasing the Lake (or Doonbeg Lough as it is officially known,) from Clare County Council.  Doonbeg Lough has the benefit of tidal conditions and there is only one other such lake in Ireland.  It is our intention in conjunction with Shannon Regional Fisheries Board, who has recently conducted surveys, to have the Lake developed in accordance with best practice as a tourist attraction for sea trout angling and salmon fishing when the salmon prohibition is lifted.
