About the fishery

Lakes and fish species

Water and species

  • DAERA and Loughs Agency identify this upland brown-trout water west of Omagh, near Drumquin. It is not the similarly named Loch Bradan in Scotland.
  • It is a public-water-supply reservoir. Prevent pollution and follow the authority's water-specific access conditions.

Fishing access and booking

Fishing access and booking

  • DAERA says anglers aged 12 and over require a DAERA Game Fishing Permit and a Loughs Agency rod licence, or a Loughs Agency endorsement to a DAERA Game Rod Licence.
  • Confirm the appropriate products and current conditions through the official purchase/information service. A general DAERA licence alone is not substituted for the stated Loughs Agency licensing requirement.
  • Loughs Agency lists DAERA Inland Fisheries enquiries on 03002007860. This is an administrative contact, not an on-site booking office.
