The Colebrooke River is a river in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It has its source in the Sliabh Beagh mountains and flows in a south-westerly direction through the county until it enters Upper Lough Erne near Inishcollan, Lisnaskea.
The river is on the northeast side of County Fermanagh, flowing through Maguiresbridge into Upper Lough Erne, and called in its upper course the Many Burns. The Tempo River runs by Tempo and joins the Colebrooke a mile below Maguiresbridge.[1]
Angling
The river has abundant large bream, roach, perch, rudd and pike. Salmon and Lough Erne trout up to 4.0 kg can be caught towards the end of the season when moving from the Lough to spawning grounds in the upper reaches of the river.[2][3] Some of the river is private fishing waters on the Colebrooke Park estate.[4][5]
