This lough is to the east of and adjacent to the T73 Buncrana-Clonmany road. It is a lough on which you need a boat because of the reeds. It hold a big stock of small brown trout and is best fished on summer evenings with small flies. If you are careful you can fish in shallow water between the reedbeds and the shore. You must hold your fish tight when yu hook them to prevent them escaping into the reeds. Expect to get up to a dozen, a couple of which should weigh between a half and 1km. Small standard lough fly patterns will do. Permission : Not usually required.
