Gwencol is owned and run by Andrew and Emma McFarlane, Andrew is a mad keen fisherman himself (formerly fron Notts England) and has the house set up perfectly for anglers needs.  Set on the edge of the Cavan lakelands, overlooking the mighty Lough Sheelin and only 2 miles out of the beautiful village of Finea, with its lovely pubs and shops.   We have easy access to all the major angling centres, with over 300 lakes and miles of unspoilt stretches of the river Inny and the Erne.

The local venues, comprising Lough Sheelin, Cavans premiere pike and game fishery, The start of the river Inny and Lough Kinale, (Irelands hybrid record holding + specimen Bream and Tench water).

We are only (10 min) 7 miles from the Lough Gowna complex with its massive shoals of bream and hybrids and only 35 mins from the Shannon at Lanesborough, and 30mins from the Royal canal at Mullingar which is stuffed with Tench, also Loughs Lacken, Ramor, Bracklaugh, Corglass and Kill, plus several smaller lakes.  All of which carry an excellent stock of  Bream, Roach, Rudd, Tench, Perch, pike, Trout and hybrids. My boats are available with fish finders so I can drop you off at my preselected swims, or if you want to explore the vast waters yourself, boats can be hired locally (around €35 euro per day).
