This is a natural lough lying 4 miles north west of Ballynahinch and 6 miles south east of Lisburn. It is south of the A49 and anglers must use the official entrance off the Lisburn- Ballynahinch road. Fishing stands have been provided on the west side and all the other banks are safe for wading. It is stocked with brown and rainbow trout and orthodox fly fishing only is allowed. There is a 4 trout bag limit and a 10 inch size limit and the season runs from 1 April to the 31 October. There are good hatches of chironomids and early in the season the trout take especially well. Permission
