| Fishing |
| For Decades Fishing was the primary industry in Roundstone. With its naturally sheltered harbour and easy access to the open waters it was a Fishing centre for much of the last two centuries. Now, however, the commercial fishing industry has changed a lot over the years and it is not the prominent base that it used to be. It still has a small fishing fleet concentrating mainly on Cod, Haddock, Plaice, Crab, Shrimp and Lobster. It can offer plenty of good coastal fishing sites along its rocky and sandy shoreline. Roundstone harbour has an abundance of Mackerel shoals in the summer. Dogs Bay and Gurteen beaches are good for flatfish while the headland further out offers good fishing for Pollack, Gurnard and Conger eel. A boat can be chartered for a days fishing from the harbour in Roundstone village and will bring you to excellent Cod, Ling, Ray, Mackerel, Wrasse, Turbot, dogfish and even Shark locations |
| |
| There are numerous rivers and lakes around Roundstone which offer the fresh water angler opportunities to catch Salmon, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Eels. Permits have to be obtained in order to fish some of the lakes and rivers. |
