This is a small lough beside Creeslough village. It used to hold an excellent stock of brown trout averaging 10 oz, with fish to 2km, but stocks have been greatly depleted in recent years by greedy and uncaring anglers. If you do catch fish, I suggest you return them safely to the water to conserve stocks. Useful fly patterns are Golden Olive, Wicham's Fancy, Black Pennell, Butcher and Connemara Black. Bank fishing only and about 25 per cent of the shoreline is fishable. Permission....

Brantry Lough lies off the B128 Aughnacloy - Benburb road and approximately 6 miles south of Dungannon. This is a rich limestone Lough holding brown trout. It is situated in a very sheltered position which can make the fishing very difficult at times. There are hatches of chironomids, olives, even some mayfly and a good sedge hatch. A good ploy is to fish a dry Mayfly, Gnat, Buzzer or Sedge according to season if the trout start showing at the surface in the evening. This is a lough of 60 acres...

Lough Neagh has been described as a huge fish factory. It is the biggest lake in the British Isles, and it covers 153 square miles (400 km). Its uncanny similarity in size and shape to the Isle of Man gave rise to the legend that the mythical giant Fiann McCool scooped out a huge lump of earth and threw it into the Irish Sea - the lump of earth formed the Isle of Man, and the hole filled with water became Lough Neagh.

For the tout angler its main interest is the dollaghan, a unique...

The Discovery Park grounds are located around two rainbow trout angling lakes. The two man-made lakes were originally constructed by the Prior Wandesforde family as a centrepiece for the Demesne grounds.

The lower lake is reserved for fly fishing and the upper lake for bait fishing and bo...
