Drumsna

Drumsna is a small, picturesque village in County Leitrim that sits on a hill overlooking an old loop of the River Shannon, which is now bypassed by the Jamestown Canal.

It is a recognised access point on the Upper Shannon and a noted coarse angling destination downstream of Carrick on Shannon.

The river here holds good-quality roach to 2 lbs, hybrids, and bream, though fishing quality is weather-dependent and the river can rise quickly during wet conditions. Nearby Headford, a small shallow lake about 1.

5 miles northeast of the village, also carries a good stock of fish, though summer weed growth can be a limiting factor.
