Follow up on Bally Hass Lakes

After such a great day fishing last time I decided to return for yet another day fishing.

Unfortunately it was a big let down. The lake is about 10-12 foot higher due to the weather. But its not only the lake that was a bit of a let down. I decided to bring my little brother on his first day fishing. After paying for the day tickets I asked for worms for my younger brother as at 9 its fairly hard to cast a fly line lol and then was told they had no bate but try the fly.

That's fine for any one who can fly fish but not for a child who never fished before. So I asked for a bubble so I could at least show him how to fish a bubble and fly but was told they don't have them either.

Finally after getting over the tackle shop been a let down I walked to the small lake (the big lake is fly only) only to find that the lake was so high that there was no where to fish only a small pontoon not even fully tied on to the shore (side of a steep deciline) and no life bouys in site.

Now I've been fishing a long long time but I've never come across a fishery that went from top class to top of the "Not to fish" list.

Any one else had bad experience's with fisheries or have fished Bally Hass??

Let me know your stories.

All the best,
Chris
