Great news for trout anglers in the Dublin/Meath area as Rathbeggan Lakes is going to open its doors to trout anglers again under the name MeathEcoPark. I spoke to the owner Dave Robinson and he gave me the following info:
Having originally opened in 1998, Rathbeggan Lakes as it was then known, was Ireland’s first-ever Troutmasters water, providing top class fly fishing, close to the city. Hosting regular competitions such as the Cortland Winter League and other sponsored events it grew to be one of the regions top fly venues. From 2007 onwards, the venue morphed into the very popular family and Children’s park which still floats around the internet!! Having reared our children, and provided much entertainment for the public, the park closed in 2019, due to excessive insurance charges and was rebranded as MeathEcoPark. We now operate as a fly angling and motorhome park which is strictly over 18s. Fishing is available daily and the rules are very simple: barbless single hooks only, no wading, catch and release only and wet hand water release. We charge €25 per day, and you can book this beautiful venue by contacting Dave on 0868113259 or [email protected]
Daily numbers are limited, so a call in advance is essential. We hope to see you soon.
Dave.
