This from the organisers of the Lough Muckno festivals:
Lough Muckno Feeder Festival from the 30th June to the 4th July 2025, is the next significant event organised for this great venue.Β With a good interest already signalled, the entry is now open for all intending to take part.
All participants (irrespective of earlier booking) are requested to signal their intention by commenting βBook me on pleaseβ on the Muckno group Facebook page, and we will like, to signal confirmation of the booking.
Registration at Old Coach Inn from 8am on 30th June and draw at 9am. Feeder fishing rules apply and fishing will be 11am to 4pm daily.
Black and Yellow islands, which are under development at this time will be available, as per agreement with Monaghan Co Co. A van draw will apply for this and all Festival events henceforth, in order to comply with the strict Health and safety protocols in place for the past 3 years.
On a recent one to one, with Monaghan County Council around the current upgrade at Black island we agreed that the section would be opened to us, a week prior to the Feeder Festival, with car and van access restored to us from mid June, to coincide with the return of the shoals of Roach, currently away on their spawning grounds.
With further amenity upgrades, this area is now experiencing unprecedented public footfall and we are asked to adhere to the strict conditions of signposting, speed limit, vehicle entry and exit close formation.
All vehicles must enter together in a controlled manner at a specified time and exit similarly controlled, at the finish of competition.
No driving is to be undertaken outside of the entry and exit convoy method, so unfortunately no deviation will be permitted, to allow cars/vans to drop off or pickup at the start or finish of daily competition.
