Description:
Easky Lough lies high in the Ox Mountains in Co. Sligo and is over 100
acres in area.
The open season for salmon is from 1 February to 30 September; for seatrout, 1 February to 12 October; and for brown trout, from 15 February to 12 October.
The lough lies along the road which runs across the mountain from Dromore West on the Sligo-Ballina road to Mullany’s Cross on the Cloonacool-Ballina road.
There is no boat, but there is plenty of shore fishing and the safest place to fish is along the road on the east side.
However, many consider that the west side gives by far the better fishing, though the walking is difficult and even dangerous in places. The brown trout are small – about three to the pound – but free-rishing, and the seatrout that get up there about August average ¾lb with some better fish.
Some anglers claim that the lough holds a stock of large ferox trout, but none has ever been caught. What these anglers saw humping in the ripple were most likely salmon which enter the lough in high water and can be taken on fly or spinner at the mouth of the river which enters at the south-east corner.
