Corkagh Park Fishery Update 23-01-2011

Fishing over the weekend was quite slow with the cold weather.  On the trout lake some fish were being caught, mainly on damsel nymphs.  The lakes are now free of ice again, but few anglers ventured out in the cold weather.  Fishing should improve with a rise in temperatures, but at the moment there is little or no insect life with an absence of buzzer hatches due mainly to the severe cold.

Welcome to Corkagh Park Fishery.

At the moment there is little fishing on the coarse lake, however the Fly-fishing in the trout lake is still producing results.  Young Raymond Harris junior caught a fish on his second cast today on his own tied fly!
If his dad isn't careful young Ray will start out-fishing him.  The successful fly was an orange fritz.  Other flies doing the business at the moment are damsel nymphs and flies with a little wiggle in the tail, fished slowly at varied depths.
Contact the fishery on 01 4592625.  For January the fishery office is only open at the weekend, midweek, permits can be bought at the Caravan Park offices.
