Lough Corry

Lough Corry, a mountain lough near Rosslea, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

Lough Corry is one of the better Fermanagh easy-add trout lakes because the official description gives it genuine character: upland setting, evening strength, brown trout, added takeable fish and useful boat access.

When
April–September, especially evenings
Where
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Murrough on the point.
The plan
Plan A

Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Murrough on the point.

Plan B

If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Boat — drift

A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

About this water

Lough Corry is one of the better Fermanagh easy-add trout lakes because the official description gives it genuine character: upland setting, evening strength, brown trout, added takeable fish and useful boat access. It feels more like a real fishing venue than a token stocked pond, so it is worth treating as a proper Fermanagh stillwater rather than a minor afterthought.

Hatches & food

DAERA notes this upland lough fishes well from spring through autumn, particularly in the evening, with small dark flies dressed with silver taking fish — a practical pattern signal rather than an identified hatch.
