Spent the day on Lough More in County Monaghan. It really is a special place. It's a wild brown trout lough, untouched by the evil rainbow. I have been told the lough is over 100 foot deep, and has strong under currents, so I was a tad aprehensive taking the boat out on it. But it is a very friendly wee lough, if that makes sense. We didn't catch any fish, the bright blazing sunshine, being our main excuse. A fish would have been a bonus however, it was such a beautiful place, it is situated in the hills between Aughnacloy and Monaghan, one side is covered in a pine forest, and it is accessible only by a small country lane, so there were very few other people around.
I am itching to try it for the rise some night, so I will be making tracks to this place again. The local club has a unique system for buying a ticket, phone the woman who lives in the bungalow on the way to the lough, she will leave the keys for the boat in a designated place, and you take the keys and leave the money for your days fishing, lovely and simple.
