Lough Leane Boat Hire

neil_hosey

Hi,

For all of this week I've been trying to hire a boat on Lough Leane for this Sunday. So far 3 people have either ignored my call and message, email or just said they had none for this sunday.

I want to fish the lake (catch and release) and have plenty of experience on midlands lakes of similar size. Any idea why im finding it so hard to get a boat?


Or does anyone know anyone that can I can hire a boat from?

Im only staying down sunday to tuesday in the europe and the only day I can fish is the sunday.

Thanks in advance
Niel

Yeah I contacted them by email as another poster gave me their details. They replied and said yes and asked me if I had any experience, I explained Ive fished the Midlands lakes for years on hired boats, but they just didn't reply so im struggling now to find anything.

I also left a voice message on his phone but no reply. Very confused

I have a number for the boat hire person beside Ross Castle. PM me if you need it. Got a boat last May, think it was €55 for boat and engine for day..

Great. You won't have far to go for the prime trout fishing spots.

neil_hosey

sorry i didnt see these replies!

I did go out. We done a good bit of fishing but I had alterior motives that day.

Although we did do some fishing, the plan was to propose to my gf on inisfallen island, which i did :eek:

I mean I have promised herself some things over the years so I'd be left off fishing for the day but having to propose so you can go fishing?? You win. :P


Seriously though, congratulations.
