Location

Take the N4 towards Carrick on Shannon, turn right at Dromod onto the Mohill road, turn right in the center of Mohill, take the Lough Rinn road, at the first fork bear left, then bear left again at the next fork which is sign posted 'Gortletteragh', after about four miles turn right at the 'Fishing' sign, follow this road but do not bear left at the bottom of the hill, proceed down to the small, gated road which leads to the car park...Close all gates!

Overview

Drumbad lake, which is on the left of the car park, has a very good bank that can easily accommodate over twenty anglers, depths vary between three and five feet, the ends of the lake being the shallowest. Rudd are the predominant species but fish over half a pound are rarely caught, Roach and Hybrids will help to make up your total weight, there are a good number of Tench to four and a half pounds along with a shoal of Bream in the seven pound bracket, they do not seem to favour any particular area so location will not be easy!

Methods

This is a great waggler water, Rudd can be a nuisance when fishing the feeder, giving very fast bites before you can set the hook but, if you are after the Bream, you will have to use same!

Baits

All of the usual baits work well, ring the changes

Summary

Interesting fishing
