A reminder from Waterford City and County Trout Angling Association about the Knockaderry cup on the 27th October with over €1,500 in prizes on numbers.
Knockaderry will have its Winter stocking for the weekend of the 10th Oct so that the fish will be well settled in, feeding, and willing to give themselves up on the day of the big competition. Now is the chance to get in some practice. Carrigavantry is fishing well, fish taking Corixae and Daddies, small lures working for the strippers. Residents in Knockaderry feeding on sticklebacks, Corixae and terrestrial’s.

FLY FISHING ON KNOCKADERRY CARRIGAVANTRY BALLYSCANLON
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 10 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 6ft 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.
