Thanks for the reply dodderangler.Have you fished it recently?

Been meaning to go more but Havint gotten around since march.
Had 3 nice rainbows about 2 lb and a nice wild brown on top lake
This time of year water is way down and makes fishing it more difficult but more productive if you get in the right areas

Was up there a couple of weeks ago but the water was too high. It was hard to get a good spot to fish. Didnt catch anything

was at Bohernabreena yesterday. The lower lake is very high, so you could only fish from the North bank.

There was a lot of litter there, which is very disappointing.

Does anyone know what flies fish well there this time of year?

Thanks.

if in doubt up there, no matter what the conditions are- a black wooly bugger works every time for me. Preferably a gold head.

Or a black gold head fritz
I'd use that lad most of the year on all lakes if there's rainbow about

Yeah, I haven't fished it many years but, when I was, any rainbows I spooned would be "full to the gills" with snails... So I always had the Black & Peacock spider on the leader

I went to Bohernabreena on Monday morning and was shocked by the amount of litter strewn around the place. It seems the knackers were there in force over the weekend.

Bottles, cans, wrappers, a used nappy (yuch!), T-shirts, shoes. Some stuff was just thrown in the water. There are a couple of litter bins there which were not full.

What is wrong with people? There were photos on other websites of litter left on beaches and other public places over the weekend. Apparently Brittas Bay beach was a mess. i don't understand how so many people can be so careless. Do they think it's the Council's job to clean up after them?

As I was leaving Bohernabreena about 11 am on Monday, there were groups of about 30 young people heading up there.

So, I guess angling will be out of the question until the schools re-open, or the weather breaks.

In the first lake there was load if lads and girls jumpin off the pier
