    Does anyone here use this website? I've been looking at it and it shows all 1487 lakes in Ireland under the heading Ireland Fishing and Outdoor Maps

    http://www.myfishmaps.com/intl-fishing-maps/Ireland/fishing-Water_Locations/Lake/

    I found a lake up the mountains in Co. Clare that I had heard about and went to find it a couple of weeks ago. Really nice fishing spot. I'm just wondering if all the lakes on the site are actual fishing lakes? I scrolled down a little just clicking on the ones in the Galway area and some are big lakes whereas others are tiny. Just wondering if anyone else has used it and what they think of it?

    You're right, it's not on it. That's a bit mad!

    I don't get it, what is the point of the website? This is just Google Maps as far as I can see.

    The maps are broken down into different sections. Blessington is listed under Reservoirs.

    As far as I see all lakes and waters are 'auto-generated'. Noticed this site years ago but no updates for Ireland that I can see.

    Not one I have looked at has any info posted whatsoever.

    Good idea on behalf of the person that set up the site but pretty useless if they are not going to make any effort to put useful info on it. I guess they expect the masses of fishermen to do that for them, but for that to happen they would need regular users.

    Chicken but no egg scenario.
