Fishing near Dunlewy, Co. Donegal

Dunlewy sits in the Derryveagh Mountains of north-west County Donegal, at the foot of Errigal and beside Dunlewy Lough — a free coarse fishery in a dramatic upland setting. The surrounding Gweedore district holds Lough Nacung and feeds the Clady River, while a network of Donegal spate rivers including the Gweebarra and Owennamarve drains the wider landscape toward the Atlantic.
