Ballisodare Fishing Club is proud to support the newly launched Sligo Ideas Engine—an innovative digital initiative developed by Sligo County Council to enhance tourism, promote local businesses, and celebrate community voices across the region.
At the core of the Sligo Ideas Engine is an interactive online map and storytelling platform designed to capture and share the unique energy of Sligo’s towns, landscapes, and people. With backing from the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Connected Hubs initiative, this project brings together businesses, tourism operators, community groups, and creatives to tell the story of Sligo in a fresh and dynamic way.
Why This Matters to Us
Ballisodare is not just a place to catch salmon—it’s a living part of Sligo’s natural and cultural heritage. By participating in the Ideas Engine, we’re helping:
🎣 Highlight Ballisodare’s role as a premier destination for fly fishing and outdoor recreation
🌄 Promote rural tourism and local biodiversity through storytelling and digital visibility
🧭 Inspire both locals and visitors to explore lesser-known gems throughout the region
Get Involved
The Sligo Ideas Engine invites individuals, businesses, and community leaders to contribute their own stories, locations, and initiatives—all of which will be accessible via a publicly available map and digital tool.
