are spreading rapidly throughout
the country.
Shore angling comprises spin-
ning, fly fishing, and bottom
fishing from beaches, rocks,
estuaries, quays and piers. This
is probably the most widely
practised form of sea fishing and
is enjoyed all-round the coast, be-
ing most popular south of a line
from Galway to Dublin. However,
anglers based in Finner Camp
are blessed with Tullan Strand on
their doorstep and Rosnowlagh
only a few kilometres away; both
fantastic venues for flounder,
turbot, dogfish, whiting, plaice
and coalfish.
For anyone interested in fishing
or would like to try then please
keep an eye on IKON and on unit
noticeboards for upcoming DF-
SAC 'come and try it' events.

I Pray that I may Live to Fish
Until my Dying Day
And when it Comes to my
Last Cast
I then Most Humbly Pray
When in the Lord's Great

And Peacefully Asleep
That in His Mercy I be

Big Enough to Keep
