The North Atlantic Drift, with its warming influence on our coastlines, brings an abundance of species within easy reach of the Sea Angler and provides angling opportunities throughout the year. This coastline is a haven for fishermen, with idyllic beaches and ready access to angling facilities. The three main areas that lie adjacent to the Gaeltacht area are Donegal Bay (Mullaghmore to Rathlin O`Birne), West Donegal (Malin Bay to Bloody Foreland) and North West Donegal (Bloody Foreland to Fanad Head). These areas hold phenomenal stocks of varied cold water species and during the summer warmer water species such as blue shark and tope and others visit our shores. There are lots of sea angling festivals during the season open to visiting anglers as well as unlimited oportunities for shore angling.
