lough brickland

This lovely lough presents a splendid sight to travellers along the A1T from Newry to Banbridge. It also holds some fine trout. It is stocked annually with both brown and rainbow trout and each season produces some magnificent browns. The north and south ends should be avoided when wading but the rest is perfectly safe. The west shore is well served with stiles, footbridges and a gravelled path. There is a bag limit of 4 trout and the lough fishes well in the evenings to the chironomid hatch early in the season. Use nymphs, standard lough wet flies or lures and enjoy good sport in lovely surroudings. Permission
