Gerry Heaslip was eager to get on the water after being confined to quarters by the seemingly endless combinations of floods, high water and rain. So on Saturday 2nd Jan 2016 he made a break for it and took himself off to Southern County Fishing Resort and, believe it or not, had a fantastic days fishing. The weather conditions were perfect with little to no wind and mild enough that the fish were moving on the surface.
Gerry caught 18 hard fighting rainbow trout with the biggest being 6 to 7 lb. All of the fish were in great condition and all fish were returned. Gerry tells us that as far as he is concerned this fishery is a gem and he would recommend it to all anglers young and old.
Go fishing…
Angling takes place on over 10 acres of water on 3 different lakes and Southern County Fishing Resort prides itself on its Rainbow Trout. The lakes are stocked on regular basis with high quality fish reared in an onsite hatchery. The fresh river water which feeds our lakes supports the life of a range of insects which is a source of natural feeding for the fish. Fish size range from 1.5 lb to 10 lbs.
