Lough Gill is a large lake, nearly six and a half miles long and two and a half miles wide. There is public access to the lough from a pier on the south shore at the mouth of the Garavoge River, at Inishfree Pier and at Shriff Bay. Lough Gill holds browntrout and salmon. It gets a big run of spring salmon and has produced salmon on opening day in recent years. Most of the salmon fishing is done by trolling and February and March are regarded as the best months. Lough Gill also holds a good stock of brown trout, but they tend to be difficult and slow to take a fly, except during the mayfly hatch, when fishing can be good. Boats and outboard motors are available for hire. There are a number of boat trips available on Lough Gill departing from Parkes Castle "Rose of Inishfree" and also Sligo Town,Garavogue River - "Lough Gill Boat Tours" - www.loughgilltours.com/
