River Gweebarra Guide
The River Gweebarra flows out in Lough Barra, between the Derryveagh and Glendowan mountains, and makes its way to the South East where it empties into Gweebarra Bay, near Doochary. The estuary is about 10 miles in length.
The Gweebarra is a medium sized river with lots of beautiful streamy water, perfect for the fly. It’s about 20 miles long in total and it has been divided up into 6 beats, by the Northern Region Fisheries Board (NRFB).


Sea trout come in on the tides from July and are taken all along the estuary and from the pools above and below Doochary.
