The Adventure Starts Here
Co. Monaghan
Many ‘undiscovered’ lakes, ideal for those who like to explore.
This is a county overflowing with terrific lakes yet remains largely unexplored. Carrickmacross and Castleblayney are certainly popular and provide great mixed coarse fishing, but other centres well worth staying and fishing in, are Ballybay and Clones.
The towns and villages of Co. Monaghan:
Carrickmacross
Carrickmacross has reed-fringed quiet lakes brimming with tench and rudd to three-mile long loughs loaded with prime roach. The smaller lakes tend to produce more large fish, with bream to 10lb, tench 6lb rudd 3lb - there are even some carp in the area.
Castleblayney
Castleblayney is a town with a lake twice its size. This is Lough Muckno and the fishing is consistently brilliant. A massive lake providing challenging sport from several very accessible stretches with stocks of bream, roach, hybrids, pike and perch. There are dozens more waters within a 10 mile radius.
