CASTLEBLAYNEY
Lough Muckno
Is located off the N2 on the eastern side of Castleblayney.
This lake covers an area of 325 hectares
with depths to 20m. There are a number of well established
fishing locations on the lake including
White island, Black Island, Concra Wood, South Lodge
and Toome Point. In addition to pike, Lough Muckno holds
good stocks of bream, rudd, roach, hybrids, tench and
perch.

The Gas Lake
Is located on the northern end of Castleblayney on the R181 Keady road and is
really an extension of Lough Muckno to which a short river connects it. Access
is best from the western side from the Keady road. Bank fishing is limited. Care
must be taken as the angler is faced by relatively deep water and very soft bottom.
|
Lough Ross
Lies about a mile west of Crossmaglen and is accessed on the Southern side off
the Castleblayney/Cullaville (Dundalk) road. Angling for bream, roach, or pike
is done mostly from the lakeside amenity area. The border bisects the lake.
Note: Anglers who are fishing this lake from the Northern side are advised that
a coarse rod licence and permit are required to fish.
