A small twenty-acre lake in the grounds of Mount Dalton near Rathconrath, stocked as fingerlings that grow on naturally to a pound and a half to three pounds on the rich feeding. Lake olives, sedges and chironomids hatch here, and the terrestrials blow on in numbers, so it is nearly always worth a visit. Midland Fisheries Group permit; boat and fly only, and the boat wants booking ahead through C. Gibson Brabazon, down the private avenue off the Mullingar–Ballymahon road.
Hatches & food
A small rich Westmeath limestone lake with reliable lake olive, chironomid and sedge hatches plus heavy terrestrial falls — enough natural feeding to grow fingerling browns on fast to good condition.
