Colebrooke River
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 Maguiresbridge, finally entering Upper Lough Erne near Inishcollan, Lisnaskea.
The river is called the Many Burns in its upper course. The Tempo River 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 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 water on the Colebrooke Park estate.[4][5]
