    • Angling and Commercial Fishing (Inland Fisheries),

    There is a path from the adjoining country road around the entire shoreline and numerous angling stands have been provided. Early season Buzzers (Chironamids) can offer very good sport.

    The presence of Zebra Mussels is still preventing the stocking of fish from Movanagher Fish Farm. For more information, please visit Zebra Mussels and impact on fish stocking in the Public Angling Estate.
