Bally Hass Lakes

Fishing in Ireland at the moment doesn't look great. Everywhere is flooded!! I think its nearly time we put down our fishing rods for a bit and start building arks just to be on the safe side lol. But on a lighter note there are still some places that are fishing well.

Just out side Mallow in Co. Cork there is a beautiful fishery called Bally Hass Lakes. The fishing here is amazing and even with all the floods and heavy rain the water remains crystal clear.

Don't believe me? Here's proof of a me catching a rainbow trout on the fly in the smaller of the two lakes :-)



There are two lakes as I mentioned above, the smaller one can be fly and bait fished or fished using spinners. The big lake is fly only and has plenty double figure trout for the taking. Day tickets are available on arrival and half day tickets (4 hours) are also available.

The fishery is also child friendly and is a great place to take a child on there first fishing trip.

Here's the web site where you can get many more details of the fishery http://www.ballyhasslakes.ie

Until next time,
Tight Lines,
