Lough Ash is situated in the picturesque countryside of Dunamanagh. Over the past two years larger trout were used for stocking with the view to providing the angler with more rewarding catches. Because of the dangerous bank, the western shore is closed to anglers and the short eastern end is inaccessible because of reeds. The northern and southern shores supply spacious wading areas. Perimeter stiles and footbridges from the car-park give unrestricted access to the fishing areas.

How to get there

From Belfast to Dungiven, taking the B49 through Claudy and Dunamanagh. Turn left on the B48 to Plumbridge. The signposted entrance to the car-park is on the left 4.8 km from Dunamanagh.
