Most of the fishing action takes place below the 'butt' of the Ballisodare Falls. There is a small run of Spring Salmon and in June/July the peak of its large grilse run is seen.

Lough Arrow (24 miles/ 42 km from Strandhill) - Arrow is one of the great Irish Trout fishing loughs, where the Trout average 1.5lb and fish to 7ib are taken on the fly annually. It is located 4 miles north west of Boyle with Ballymote 6 miles away. It is a limestone lough incredibly rich and while it has some feeder streams it is mainly spring fed.
