Location
Take
the Kilglass road out of Roosky, Take the first turning right sign posted
to Kilmore and the Kon Tiki pub, follow the road for about four miles
and bear right over Carranadoe Bridge, from this point you could get a
bit lost because there are no signposts for this lake, follow the road
and look for the Hill Street turning on your left, don't take this road,
use it as a reference point only, after about half a mile further on you
will see a white painted bungalow on your left standing back in a field,
directly after and again on your left is a disused stone cattle shed which
is very close to the road, turn left here and drive between two stone
gate piers, follow this track down to a car park built at the waters edge.
Overview
Directly in front of you are two small islands, to the left of
these the lake is very shallow and normally covered with weeds and Lillie
pads, avoid this area, go over the stile and into the field on your right,
make sure you are clear of the islands, from this point all the way up
to a barbed wire fence you have deep water approximately eight feet near
the car park and fourteen near the fence, the lake has a good bank but
is fairly exposed.
Methods
The top three pegs are noted for the Bream with fish around three
and a half pounds being the norm, there is a good head of Roach and Rudd
in this lake and you can catch the odd Tench just in the edge close to
the drop off, there will be a few Pike about especially if you get the
Roach going!! You will have no problems fishing here in the early part
of the season but weed and Lillie growth all along the bank gradually
curtails fishing activities as the Summer progresses, hopefully our friends
at the Fisheries Board will do something about this problem in the near
future, we will then be able to enjoy the excellent fishing at Tully throughout
the year.
Hook Baits
All the usual baits.
Summary
Nice lake … Pleasant surroundings..
