The Erne Waterway comprises two characteristically distinct systems: Upper Lough Erne (which is joined to the Shannon system and forms the Erne-Shannon Waterway) and Lower Lough Erne.

Together they form what is surely one of Ireland's most diverse fishing waters.

Lower Lough Erne is a huge expanse of water, over five miles wide at its widest point. At 18 miles in length from Enniskillen to Roscor/Belleek, the lough is dotted with numerous islands, rocky outcrops and reaches depths of over 200 feet in places. This makes ideal habitat for Brown Trout and large numbers of coarse fish species.

Upper Lough Erne, on the other hand is a maze of channels and islands with vast reed beds and ideal habitats for Pike.

Visitors to either Lough might feel able to navigate their way through the waters with ease but don't forget that local fishermen know not only where the best fishing areas are but also the location of dangerous rocks that lurk just beneath the surface!
