Lough Ennell Lake
Bloomfield House Hotel is located on the shores of Lough Ennell.
Public piers and jetties are located at Bloomfield House Hotel, Buttlersbridge, Whitesbridge Bay, Ladestown and Lilliput. There is good public access off the Mullingar - Kilbeggan road and off the Mullingar - Castletown Geoghegan road.
One of the best ways to see Lough Ennell is from the lake itself! Lilliput Boat Hire provides everything you need to have a highly enjoyable day on the lake. This lake provides an ideal location for you to explore the sites and wildlife of Lough Ennell. The islands around the lake, the surrounding woodlands and walkways make this a safe haven for all the family to enjoy.
This lake covers an area of 3200 acre (1,300 hectares). A feature of the lake is its huge area of shallow water. Nearly two-thirds of it is less than 25 feet and almost half is under 10 feet deep.
There is a good stock of wild brown trout averaging 2lbs. with 3 to 4 lbs frequently been taken. The Irish record for brown trout wich weighted 26lbs. 2ozs was taken on this lake.
The season opens in March at which time the fly fishing areas are limited. Depending on weather conditions, the best areas at this time are Kilcooley Bay and from Burrow Hill to Hump Shallow - both on the west shore.
Most parts of the lake fish well especially Carrick Bay, Rinn Point to Northwall, Dysart, Keoltown and the area off Hope's Point. From the end of September and early October wet fly fishing is very good with bags of 2-3 fish common.
