Join us and share the secret of Belle
Isle Estate
Pike caught 12th October 2009
Imagine yourself on an almost undiscovered 250-acre island
in the heart of the Emerald Isle, with miles of fishing available
just for you. It gets better. This island, surrounded by spectacular
views of Upper Lough Erne, offers some of the best angling
for pike, roach, bream in Europe.
How good? Well, catches of 200lb of bream are commonplace.
Roach can be caught every cast. And one party of four anglers
caught more than 70 pike in under two days, with the biggest
at nearly 30lb. People like Chris Tarrant and John Baily,
who have experienced this beautiful destination, rate it very
highly indeed.
This secret paradise is Belle Isle in County Fermanagh. At
the heart of the estate is a stunning 17th century castle,
where you can stay in absolute luxury. The Castle, has a magnificent
banqueting hall, elegant drawing room and eight individually
styled bedrooms. If you want to be on the water's edge, stay
in one of the delightful cottages, or hide yourself away in
the Walled Garden Cottage, situated in the secret garden.
Other accommodation includes a magnificent Coach House, or
sumptuous apartments within the courtyard. Whichever you choose,
the quality is superb.
Belle Isle offers both bank and boat fishing. A two-minute
walk puts you in the legendary bream swims which can be exclusively
reserved, so you can prebait with the confidence that those
fish are waiting just for you.
It's not only bream. Roach, perch and hybrids are prolific.
Again, catches of 70lb can be taken without putting a bream
in your net. At peak time in May and June, it's possible to
take double this weight.
With all those other fish, it's no surprise that pike fishing
is out of this world. The pike come readily to all techniques:
fly, jerk baits, lures and traditional methods. Specimens
of over 30lb have been taken. It is tremendous 'doubles' water.
Anglers staying at Belle Isle have the added bonus of booking
one of the well-equipped boats moored by the Bridge House.
For disabled anglers, a special boat is available. There is
no charge for fishing on the estate and boats with outboard
engines are only £20 per day.
Fishing and staying at Belle Isle is a unique experience.
It's a wonderful place to take your family, because there
is so much to do and see in the local area besides fishing.
Immerse yourself in the stunning secluded surroundings, avail
yourself of the wonderful hospitality and enjoy some of the
best unspoilt angling that Ireland has to offer. It truly
does offer the fishing experience of a lifetime.
