Camlough Lake

Camlough Lake, in Northern Ireland / Tuaisceart Éireann, United Kingdom, is the kind of reservoir where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Camlough Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.
