16 miles east from Cork City, adjoining the Cork to Youghal road. Approx 30 acres and most of the lake averages 4ft. to 5ft. deep. Weeds can sometimes be a problem in late summer and eutrophication has also caused difficulties in the July / August period. Adult Rainbow Trout are stocked regularly to maintain a high stock density and give worthwhile angling returns. The lake also holds a large stock of small Rudd and Eels - Rudd form an important part of the Trout's diet. Some attractive shore angling sites and six boats are available for hire. Boats should be booked well in advance due to demand. Artificial wet flies are the most popular angling method but worms and spinning - in the early summer - have also given excellent returns.
