Fly anglers report Knockaderry fishing well

David Tantrum reports that twenty Owenabue Anglers fished their last of the season competition on Knockaderry on Sunday. A total of 48 trout were caught and released, the winner was Tom Murphy with five fish.

Sounds like it could be worth a visit over the next couple of weeks.

Waterford City and County Trout Angling Association
Carrigavantry – This 30 acre reservoir is hidden in the hills behind Tramore. The lake can be fished from the dam and road and the rest of the lake shore needs waders. The deepest part is the island at ten feet. Prolific hatches of lake olives and damsels occur. Stocking is with both browns and rainbows. You could loose your catch here to a 20lb pike!
Knockaderry – The deepest part of the lake is 24 feet at the dam tower, the average depth is six feet and this results in good weed growth. Trout fatten fast in this fertile water on caddis, snails and stickle backs, while lake olives, buzzers, sedges and damsels bring on prolific rises. This 80 acre reservoir is a traditional top of the water drift fishery.
New members are welcome and an active programme of fly tuition is pursued to encourage beginners and get our youth out into the countryside.
