    Hi There,

    I used to fish this lake Lough Acanon in Co Cavan years ago.
    Link to lake here for ur info
    http://www.myfishmaps.com/intl-fishing-maps/Ireland/fishing-Water_Locations/Lake/Cavan/Lough_Acanon/

    Has anyone fished it lately

    Used to get a alot of fishing groups down from Dublin and even a regular few visitors from the continent, Germany etc.

    Just wondering does it still have a good level of fish and that

    Used to be great for Pike, Perch, Roach, Rudd and that.

    Thanks for all the help and info,

    Bren

    There's a road near by. ....so no it won't be fishing well for some time to come I'd imagine .
    It would have been hammered over the last ten years by eastern European anglers who would have killed everything they caught.

    The Pike Federation had a couple of competitions on it a couple of years ago and fishing was dire. 15/20 years ago it produced great catches of pike. 4/5 years ago NNs were seen several times netting it. I dont think that they were ever nabbed.

    can we not publicise catches on a public forum? its just going to draw attention to the lake from poachers again. Use private messages if you want to share catch information.

    god help your innocence..I dont think it will make one bit of difference what catches are there to poachers.there are plenty of lakes /rivers and canals for them to hit. i say lets publicise it as much as possible to get ordinary decent anglers into the area. be not afraid of these so call poachers ( who are usually made up stories anyhow) . people have a bad days fishing and they blame it on poachers .

    having caught a few poachers in the past, I disagree.
