The main lake is Fly Only and can fished from the banks but is best fished by boat. The water is 8 - 11m deep in most places with very clear visibility.
Experienced anglers will be challenged to seek the larger fish from these depths while the lake is also ideal for those new to the art of fly fishing.
Fly rods can by hired and our resident ghillie is available to tutor and assist visitors to the lakes.
Boats suitable for up to two or three anglers can be reserved and hired with life jackets.
The upper lake can be fished from the bank with worm,spinners and bubble and fly.
