Fishing near Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath

Kilbeggan sits in the heart of County Westmeath, with the River Brosna running directly through the town before winding south-west toward the Shannon. The surrounding midlands are classic Irish coarse and game country — a landscape of limestone lakes and slow-gradient rivers that draws pike, trout and coarse anglers alike. Lough Ennell, just up the Mullingar road, holds the Irish record for wild brown trout, while Lough Sheelin and the Brosna system round out a genuinely varied local fishery.
