Big Al Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Complex subject I'm afraid. The lough bed is currently owned by Shaftesbury estate (although negotiations are ongoing to bring it into public ownership) To put a hide on the water you have to lease the lough bed from Shaftesbury. BUT you also need to access it - and the land running down to the shore is private farmland in the main. You'd need to get or lease access to the shore unless you have a boat. Many people lease the land from the farmer and shoot from the shore but you risk someone leasing from Shaftesbury and plonking a hide 20m in front. (It has happened to me.) You don't "rent a hide." You lease the lough bed and it's up to you to put a hide on it. You might be lucky and find the previous tenant has left something behind them. Like I said, it's a complex business.
