Loughgall Country Park Angling

An anglers paradise. Loughgall Country Park is nothing if not an angler's paradise. The well stocked 37-acre ‘Lough' – the dominant feature of the Park overall – is certainly proving to be a magnetic attraction for fishermen from near and far. With 100 fishing stands now fully operational – there are facilities for the disabled included, of course – it means that the ‘Lough' has more than adequate accomodation for those from the angling fraternity wishing to indulge in their passion. Funding for 70 of the 100 stands was received from DCAL through the Eu programme for Peace and Reconcilliation in Northern Ireland measure 1.2(A). The funding also help to upgrade the access roads and create new boardwalk access. Nesting pontoons were also provided on the lake for birds. The lake waters tend to vary in depth from summer to winter through rainfall affecting small feeder streams. But there is one significant constant – fish stocking is carried out to ensure that the overall quality of fishing is maintained at a high level.
