    I practically lived on the reservoir when I was a teen ! Summer mornings we'd even cycle out there in the dark and be home in time for school.

    It used to be an awesome fishery.

    I reckon where hes talking about is where the canal passes from confey to westmanstown, thats supposed to be a good stretch for tench, would never have called it Lucan though, which is why i asked the question!!
