hi...just wondering has anyone fished here lately,is it fly only or are spinning and worms allowed?have it in my head it's fly only.

it is fly spinner and worm lake i have fished it a couple of times in the last month and got a good load of trout every time i was using worm and spinner and fly if your fly fishing use small nymphs and olive damsils or use a size one silver meps its deadly i got alot of trout on it

SeaFields

were those fish any size Kevin?

I used to fish it a lot with my father, as it's in a very convient location from city, but the size and number of trout was very, very dissapointing in recent years. I also had a big long rant about the place in this forum last year, as it was over run with a thick algae which made fishing next to impossible, yet the fisheries board kept it open (and kept charging none-the-wiser anglers to fish)

Incidently, my best evening there was 4 trout for 12.5lbs in less than an hour on dries. That was many moons ago now tho.

thanks...were you fishing the worm on the bottom or floating with a bubble?
heard its a good spot to bring kids fishing,plenty of rudd to be caught with bread apparently.

Do you have to pay to fish there or whats the story? Do you need a license?

realrebel

you need to pay before you fish there unless you have a yearly permit for the stocked lakes
you can get the permits from TH sports i think they still do them boats are extra aswell
the fishery board do spot checks quite often so its not worth the hassle
i think it costs about 10 euro to fish there for the day

The Pontiac

It used to be a great lake before the algae took over about 15 years ago. Got polluted by slurry, thus causing the algae. This is unfortunately irreversible.

The warm weather will cause the algae to get out of control early this year. You will see dead fish floating on top of the water.

It used to be such a beautiful lake.
