There are also good stocks of brown trout. The Leaghany and Derg rivers both have healthy populations of small brown trout. Grilse averaging 4 &#8211; 5lb can be caught after a spate from July onwards on the River Derg.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Holiday Homes in Pettigo, Donegal, Ireland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/towns\/holiday-cottage-pettigo.php\">Holiday Homes in Pettigo, Donegal, Ireland<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"More Information about Game Angling in Donegal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/game-angling-in-donegal\/\">More Information about Game Angling in Donegal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[nggallery id=63]<\/p>\n<p>The principal trout lakes are Bannus Lake, Drumgun Lough, Lough Aveghy and Lough Derg. Trout respond well to the traditional mountain flies such as Bibbio, Claret, Bumble, March Brown and Butcher. The bag limit for trout is 4 and trout fishing is by fly only. The trout fishing in the hill loughs varies from water to water but for the angler who likes a bit of a trek in the mountains this is marvellous country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bannus Lake<\/strong><br \/>\nBannus Lake is small lough around 3km West of Pettigo that holds stocks of roach, perch, bream and brown trout. Access to the lake has recently been improved with the construction of car parking, stiles and fishing stands. Trout fishing is by fly only and the lake can be fished by a club boat or from the shore. The lake holds a good stock of native brown trout with an average weight of around \u00belb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drumgun Lough<\/strong><br \/>\nDrumgun Lough is situated about 2km west of Pettigo and is around \u00bd mile long and almost \u00bd mile across at its widest point. Access to this lake has also been improved with the construction of car parking, stiles and fishing stands. The lough holds stocks of perch and roach as well as a healthy population of brown trout ranging from \u00be &#8211; 1lb in weight. The lough is fished from the shore only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lough Aveghy<\/strong><br \/>\nLough Aveghy is located about 8km west of Pettigo and holds stocks of pike, perch, roach and brown trout. The average weight of trout is around 1\u00bdlb but trout of 4lb and over have recently been recorded as they run up the Waterfoot River to their spawning grounds. The lough is fished from the shore only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lough Derg<\/strong><br \/>\nLough Derg is located about 6km north of Pettigo and is more renowned as a pilgrimage destination than for its fishing. The 2,200-acre lough has stocks of pike, perch and brown trout. Lough Derg often fishes best during April and May with wild brown trout of between one and three pounds. The Derg requires water but in the right conditions it is an excellent salmon and grilse medium sized (5-20m) river providing sport from June to the end of the season. It also has some sea trout during this period.Fishing is from a club boat only and care should be taken, as the lough is very shallow and can be hazardous in windy weather. All legal methods are allowed although there is no maggot or shrimp fishing<br \/>\nThis lough is situated within the Foyle Fishery Commission Region.<br \/>\nLicences available from: James Gallagher, Pettigo &amp; District Anglers, Main Street, Pettigo, Co.
