Lake fishing


Laois boasts hushed pockets of excellent fishing brimming with tench, bream, roach and rudd that have never seen a fisherman’s hook. These quiet unspoilt waters are especially appealing to those who don't mind getting up a bit earlier, or fishing into the evening, to enjoy the best sport.
