    No fishing allowed. There are lots off free fishing venues around Dublin without hitting the park.

    Why does there have to be a purpose? It's called nature and a balanced ecosystem.
    As the how they got there; there are several theories including links to the canals.

    There is a purpose, all public parks have no fishing attached but you will notice that every single one of them have fish that have been stocked, It is to do with keeping the ponds balanced.. The fish help the water and the birds.

    Another theory I's that the council hold them in these parks before they sell them on to fisheries

    Corkagh still has loads of big carp, seen them myself 3 weeks ago, 6 of them all between 6 and 10lbs. But NO ONE has caught a carp there in 3 years lol..

    Its now a bait and pike fishery because someone put pike into it and they now feed off everything in the lake, there is torut swimming around it with half their bodys missing.

    Sure there was an 11lbs pike caught in it and it had a big bite mark in its side...

    Its still good for the kids to learn on but not for an adult angler.

    Lads talking about public parks and the whereabouts of fish is stupid. So many people will read this and next thing you know places get fished out. It's illegal to fish in Stephens green and tymon park.
    Very few people knew about tymon park but now whole feckin world does.
    The carp in tymon were placed there to grow and breed an have at numerous occasion been caught and transferred to corkagh park and maynooth fisheries. There is common and mirrors in it.
    I fished it when I was a kid with my mate who's father was the park ranger. Did no harm and everything was returned but now that it's out on public forum god knows if they'll be there next week.

    Ah come on! Anybody who walks the parks can see the fish. These aren't little hidden ponds off the beaten track in fairness: they are Public parks. I don't live within an asses roar of Dublin and visit it perhaps once a year yet even I was aware of the fish in the parks. Any decent pond that the keepers want balanced will have fish.

    And what of the people who don't walk the parks???
    They read this and all of a sudden they're down at it?
    We all know on this not to give out locations of fish. You know it yourself.
    If I was to give location of salmon there'd be uproar so why any different

    It's bad form for anglers to give their "honey hole's" and spots where they know there's fish away on a public domain. Angling has been getting harder for some species for years and for people to just tell everyone is wrong and has an impact not only on genuine anglers aand the people who take time effort and money to establish the fish after a certain amount where removed from by the same people we don't want to know!
    I hope that makes sense to you all!

    Overstocked fish have on occasion been moved to fisheries but they are not purposely held in these ponds in order to sell them to fisheries. There is a massive difference between managing stock and rearing fish for sale. There is nothing new in all this. Fish were there when I was a lad over 60 years ago.
