David Tantrum and his loyal companion Heather made the most of yesterday at Knockaderry fishery in Co. Waterford. David tells us:
We have stocked Carrigavantry for the winter fishing so I decided to try Knockaderry where I caught and returned three trout including this large brown (pictured below). I was helped by Heather my fish finder!

The fishing will be frantic on Carrigavantry with the new stocking , so show restraint and practice catch and release and we will have fantastic Autumn and Winter fishing.
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.
