The River Drowes extends from Lough Melvin at Lareen to the Sea Pools near Tullaghan just outside the town of Bundoran and spans an area of about 5 miles in total. It is one of Ireland's premier Spring and Summer Salmon Fisheries and in addition holds good stocks of wild brown trout. It has accounted for the first recorded Irish Salmon of the season caught on rod and line on numerous occasions over the past 20 years.
This one of the main fishing areas on the Drowes and is the estuary to the Atlantic Ocean just outside the village of Tullaghan. As you stand at the bridge looking out to sea, you may people surfing. These people are surfing the "secret local wave" of PMPA. The wave got its name from the old PMPA insurance building which used to be adjacent to the area.
To get to the cache you can park at either of the waypoints given, walk to the bridge and cross the sty beside the gate on the on the Leitrim side. Then simply follow your GPS to the cache!
Please always take care and use common sense as when near water, especially with children.
Depending on the time of year, there may be a few fishermen and surfer Muggles, so please be stealthy when finding and replacing!
This cache and the three others on the "Drowes Salmon Run" are dedicated to my late grandfather Jim Daly who loved this area of North Leitrim and was very active in the Drowes and Lough Melvin fisheries.
The cache is a small cylinder (different from the original hide). It is not large enough for trackables. Please replace carefully and as you found it.
We hope you enjoy this area and of course the hunt for the cache!
