Location
From
Roosky, take the N4 towards Carrick on Shannon, four miles past Dromod
you come to the lake on your left hand side.
Overview
You can fish anywhere that takes your fancy on the side of the
lake nearest the main road, depths here vary between three and six feet,
most visiting anglers tend to fish out towards the small island when,
in fact, fishing close to the reed beds to the left of the island produces
more fish and there is certainly a better chance with the Bream..
If you look up the lake from the main road you will observe three peninsulas,
these areas are the most productive and have depths averaging fourteen
feet, access to these swims is up the lane to the left of the lake, park
on the verges, then go through the gate to where you wish to fish.
The first two peninsulas will only accommodate two to three anglers, the
other, along with the small field above, will accommodate twelve.
Two things to consider if you are fishing at the top of the lake is that
the bank is solid rock with very little chance of getting a bank stick
in, secondly if you do not get your fish in quickly they will run into
a very sharp ledge, you can loose quite a few feeders in a days fishing.
Don't be tempted to fish the bays, although they look good, the odds are
that they will not produce.
Methods
A very obvious feeder water!
Hook Baits
Red Maggots, Casters, Sweet Corn or Worms etc
Summary
This is a superb lake, albeit a little exposed to the wind..
