This well developed 70 acre
coarse lake and is between 10 to 20 meters deep at a casting range of 20 to 30
meters. The fishery is located 5 kms from Tulla and is regarded as one of the
most important lakes in the area. Species are Tench, Roach, Bream, Rudd
and Hybrids Catches ranging from 40lbs to
70lbs per day are common and if swims are pre-baited and fished
early in the morning bags of over 100lbs are possible. The
concrete stands on the far end of the lake are excellent for
Tench particularly if fished early morning at the end of May or
early June. Over recent years a number of specimen awards were verified by
the Irish Specimen Fish Committee. This is also a very good
roach fishery and well worth a visit. For the Pike angler you can
get quite good fishing here.
Facilities and
Access
There is a car park located
30 m from the lakeshore which will accommodate 9 to 10 cars. To
the right of the car park there are 7 timber stands and to
the left 8 concrete stands. There is one stand which is suitable
for a disabled angler. Anglers are requested to park cars in the
designated car park provided, please avoid parking on the land
owners private property.
There are approximately 20 to 25 well developed
swims most of which can be fished from the timber stands. The depth off
the stands varies but tends to be 3 or 4 meters a rod length out. Bream
here reach 3 to 4 lbs the biggest bags are taken on the feeder using plenty of
casters in the mix. The pole can be used to target the large population of roach
which can be had nearer the stands. Tench also turn up to sweetcorn bait just a
short distance out from the stands near the reed beds.
Recommended baits would be
Worm, Red Maggot, Red Sweetcorn, Plain Corn Caster and groundbait of
choice which should include some red colourings and brasem.
To get
there
The lake is located on the
main Tulla to Broadford road. It is well signposted and
approximately 2 kms from the main road.
