INLAND FISHERIES IRELAND

Other species caught frequently are pollack, ling, coalfish, spurdog, gurnard etc... Small Boat: The Mountcharles channel leading into Donegal town is a traditional mark for tope in sheltered waters. The inshore waters of Drumcliffe Bay and Ballisodare also see catches of tope, ray, huss, dogfish and flatfish... The Irish climate is well suited to sport angling. It is temperate and kind to the angler with moderate summers, mild winters and adequate rainfall throughout the year. The warm waters of the North Atlantic Drift lap the south and west coasts, giving us a milder climate than our geographical location would indicate.
