Fishing near Dundalk, Co. Louth

Dundalk, Co. Louth sits at the head of Dundalk Bay on Ireland's east coast, within easy reach of both river and sea fishing. The rivers Fane, Dee, Glyde, and Castletown drain into the bay and hold wild brown trout, salmon, and sea trout, while Carlingford Lough to the north is renowned for tope, ray, and bass. Dundalk Bay itself is shallow and sheltered, producing consistent ray and tope fishing, and the coastline from Carlingford south to the Boyne Estuary is regarded as a centre of excellence for sea angling on Ireland's northeast coast.
