About Erne

Erne cuts through Northern Ireland / Tuaisceart Éireann, United Kingdom and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Erne — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

  • For White bream

    Use a light line and small hook to avoid spooking the fish; white bream can be quite cautious.

  • For Northern pike

    Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

  • For Common rudd

    Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.
