Due to heavy growth on the margins, it is only fishable from a boat.

Id love to rake out a spot I lough gur get a clear spot on the bottom the rudd are HUGE in there I can only imagine the pike but its hard to fish with such a weedy bottom id say beside the hill might be your best bet but it might be flooded this time of year around that side...

The rudd are massive mate i had a few big ones out over the summer with a few nice sized perch. The pike seem to be feedin pretty near to the bank aswell. My dad had a few big ones out of there a good 15years ago now. There a lake over towards croom think its called torihill or sumthin like that. Use to hold pike competitions so im guessin theres big ones in there.
