The weather wasn’t great but to a group of Cork angler twas only “a grand soft day”. They headed up to Waterford’s Carrigavantry for their corporate day. David Tantrum of Waterford City and County Trout Angling Association reports on the action:
Last Saturday Owenabue Salmon and Trout Anglers from Cork had a corporate day out on on Carrigavantry reservoir. They proved they were competent still water Anglers catching and releasing thirty two fish including a cracking 62cms brown for Niall O’Neill.
First was Robbie Crichton with six fish followed in second place by Tony Walsh with four fish and third was Steve O’Reilly with four fish.

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.
