Mayo is undoubtedly one of Europe's top angling destinations and is often described as a game angler's paradise. It also offers top class sea angling with some limited coarse fishing also available. The county is dominated by the four great western lakes - Lough Conn, Lough Cullin, Lough Carra and Lough Mask - all of which have long established reputations as producers of quality wild brown trout. In addition, numerous lesser-known lakes and rivers in the locality offer a wide variety of trout fishing.
