Lough Inagh (Irish: Loch Eidhneach, meaning “lake of the ivy”)is one of Connemara’s most spectacular lakes. It is surrounded by majestic Mam Turks and spectacular Twelve Bens mountain ranges on all sides.

Two Loughs, Derryclare and Inagh, lie in the lovely Inagh Valley with the Twelve Pins (Bens) of Connemara rising steeply to the west, and the Maumturk Mountain range to the east. There are two short connecting rivers, which contain four river beats. The fishery has spring salmon, grilse, sea trout and large indigenous brown trout. There are three sets of ‘Butts’ or long fishing piers, built out onto Derryclare Lough for anglers. There are no boats available on Derryclare Lough and all the fishing is done from the Butts and the bank. Lough Inagh Fishery is fly only, and normal fishing hours are 9.30am to 7pm. The river beats are rotated on a half day basis. The manicured river banks, and cosy fishing huts provide comfort for anglers of all ages and fitness.

Recess (Irish: Sraith Saileach, meaning “stream of the willow tree”) is a small village to the south of Glen Inagh on the N59 road. The village is situated on the edge of a beautiful fishing lake, Glendalough. Recess is a well known angling resort and is famous worldwide for its green Connemara Marble quarries. The marble quarries can be found at the lower slopes of the Mountain ranges.
