One trout caught.

From past experience we knew this beautiful lake could fish very well on its day. We had also been told that when it is dour, it is pretty dour. This was a something-in-between day with a chilly and variable wind, intermittent showers, and occasional short spells of sunshine. The day showed early promise when one of us took a fish on the third cast and another followed quite quickly. But then there would be long quiet spells with nothing showing at all. In the end we took 10 fish between us, the best two around the 12oz mark. The wind made the eastern shore pretty much impossible all day, so it wasn't always easy to keep moving to undisturbed water - it was certainly a good job there weren't five rods trying to fish it! All the fish came to traditional wet flies: black pennell; green peter; connemara black; and daddy long legs. A great day all in all and well worth the long drive.

Nil catch. Very windy which made fishing difficult. No sign of any fish activity.

9 x brown trout, two to about 3/4lb. Beautifully conditioned, fishing was challenging but highly enjoyable, most of the fish took Copper johns fished about 4ft down, but also large white adams dry flies. The larger fish came from the mouth of the river.

Windy with intermittent rain. We each caught a fish each approximately 6" in length from the left bank looking from the boat house. A great place to fish.

A fierce day with strong wind and lashing rain. A good start was made with blue Zulu, black Pennel and olive bumbles tempting trout up to 3/4 of a pound on the left bank as you view the lake from the boathouse. Two hours of roving produced a dozen trout each for boths rods, all safely returned. The wind and rain ruined afternoon sport and the fish had had enough by 2pm. So had we! Must return when a fair day is in prospect, a fantastic place to stalk trout.

Arrived 8am, a fresh breeze with a hint of autumn in the air. In previous visits the fishing has been just great, plenty of action, rising fish to target. Not today, it was very dour. The wind dropped and the odd fish rose here and there. I managed to pick up a few trout in the quieter spells, all around 5-6 ozs. Not a great day by Bugeilyn standards but a fabulous wee spot, I will be back next season.

2 brown trout caught and returned. Invicta fished close to surface on floating line. Very windy conditions.

What a fantastic place. Red kites were seen soaring above the water. We both had a really enjoyable day with 60 trout between us. They fed through out the day so sport was constant.The flies that worked for us were sedgehogs, mallard and claret,black and green hopper and a claret bob bits. Will certainly visit this venue again.

Caught 2 lovely trout on a black pennel. Although I see that it is common to catch more than 2, I had a lovely day regardless. A wonderful spot and a great walk in.
