Waterford City & County Trout Anglers manages two lakes in Waterford which are available for fly fishing by permit for  rainbow trout all year round (brown trout season 17th March to 30th September)

Knockaderry is about 80 acres in size.  Fishing on this lake is from boat only.  The deepest part of the lake is 24 feet at the dam tower  but the average depth is about 6ft and this results in good aquatic life providing food for the trout. Trout feed on caddis pupae, snails and fry and the lake gets hatches of olives, buzzers, sedges and damsels. There is a good population of wild browns which must be released if caught.

Day tickets are sold at the Centra shop in Kilmeaden Village which opens at 7am and closes at 9pm weekdays and 7pm Sundays.

Open season: 01 May – 30 September

Another of the 4 lakes that make up IFI’s SWRBD Stock Lakes. This 35 acre mountain lough, 6½ miles from Kenmare and one mile off the Kenmare to Killarney road, at Molls Gap is ideal for angling adventures.
