The put and take rainbow trout lakes Lough Fadda and Barfinnihy are fishing well at the moment despite the bright weather as water temperatures have dropped a bit.
Anglers on Fadda are catching on spinners, worm and fly.
Barfinnihy is only 20 minutes from Lough Fadda, not far from Molls Gap. This is a bigger lake and a lot of time can be spent here, wandering the the shore and casting to the often rising fish.
Being so close together it would be no trouble to enjoy what each has to offer in a single day.
