About
The River Eske, which flows through Donegal Town from Lough Eske to the tidal harbour, carries salmon and sea trout runs and is one of several angling systems in the wider area, alongside the Eany, Drowes and Finn rivers. Day and season permits are generally available from local tackle shops, and anglers should check the current season dates and any required licence before fishing, since rules and dates can change year to year.
