    Hi,

    I'm curious about Finnegans Lake because it allegedly has Rainbow Trout that repopulate naturally, something which is unusual in Ireland. The website link for the lake I found seems to not be active anymore. Would anybody have a link to an active website or up to date contact details so I can enquire about fishing there? Is the lake still worth fishing?

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Yea sure is, but there's lovely place in oughterard, it's a trout fishery small, but it's very nice and stocked well, micheal faherty owns it, if you could travel give it a go, as I said its small 2 acres but the fish in there fight like Bulls!!!

    I went fishing there and took friends. We had a great day, especially as they were beginners, they became hooked very quickly. Thank you for the recommendation!
