Welcome to Shean Lodge Fishery (pronounced She-awn), a truly stunning game fishing holiday destination in County Mayo, Ireland. Shean Lodge Fishery offers one of the most tranquil and remote areas for angling in Western Europe thanks to its setting in the 12,000 hectare Ballycroy National Park. Surrounded by nature at its best, you'll enjoy stunning scenery comprising of mountain views and rare & protected plant, bird and animal species. You can see more information about the location of Shean Lodge Fishery and directions here.

The Owenduff river, fed by the Nephin mountain range and flowing out into the Atlantic ocean on the far west coast of Ireland, enjoys the advantages of an abundant natural stock of spring salmon, grilse and sea trout.

Shean Lodge Fishery is family run and has been owned by the same family since the 1940's. The fishery and adjoining lodge is used by the family today and is also rented to avid anglers during the fishing season. Rental is also available during the closed season  for other recreational purposes.

Thanks to the stability in ownership and to the excellent management of the park and rivers, catch records (dating back to the 1930's) have remained consistent over the years (read more about catch averages here).

With 8kms of double-bank angling over 2 beats and with a limit of 10 rods maximum, you are guaranteed a peaceful, yet exhilarating fishing experience.

The lodge is cosy and homely and sleeps 16 comfortably, making Shean Lodge Fishery ideal for fishing groups or a family looking for an angling getaway/holiday that comprises both river and lake fishing.

However, there is plenty to do for those who are not interested in fishing (either during or outside of the fishing season). The Nephin mountains are less than an hour's trek away and there are numerous walking routes or other activities close-by. Read more here.
