    Anyone fished this location and can advise on species and bait.

    Any tench I seen caught was with poles and maggot in heavy baited swims tho they can be caught on Sunny days in the reeds with single maggot free lined with very small float
    I tried it years ago an lost it
    Havint fished in years there needs the weed cleaned out of it very heavy
    I know as I walk the dog there

    I heard they have feeders in the swims so as to make it harder to catch... Anyone else hear this?

    I was there on Saturday for the first time. The lake is full of weeds at the moment and very hard to fish.

    After 8 hours fishing I came out with one small Roach.

    The carp were having none of it, plenty around but didnt seem hungry!

    I've fished for carp a few times there but have never had any luck, mostly i surfave fish with either floating bread or with artificials on the fly rod and they are very finiky to catch. Best time seems to be falling light when the ducks sod off and stop competing for the bread!

    Thanks for all the replies, peeps. I'll pass on this one I think for now and take the old coarse rods elsewhere.

    Tight Lines!

    Mate of mine told me this place has no manager in charge and basically all the fish are being taken by whoever wants them

    The place out in maynooth is much better and bigger. And less people walking around. Always very hard to fish corkagh park because the fish are always startled because if the amount of people walking around the lake.

    I pass here quite a bit when walking the dogs. The shop has not been open for the last week. None of the regulars are around. The only ones fishing it are young lads spinning on the fly lake and taking the fish with them.
    I can not see this place lasting beyond christmas.
