McCourt's Lake is approx.13 acres in
size and nestles in the hills just South of Poyntzpass. The lake
is regularly stoked with both Rainbow and Brown trout. The club
requires all Brown Trout to be returned to the water unharmed Fishing is
generally good all season long. Even if you are not catching it
remains a tranquil setting for a day out by the water.At the
request of Farmers, dogs are not permitted on McCourt's.
All waders and nets must be dipped prior to fishing, a
disinfecting site is in place to assist.
The Lake
is designated Fly-fishing only and is the venue for the various
club competitions. The lake is regularly patrolled by bailiff's
from the club and the Loughs Agency.
If challenged you are requested to assist the bailiff by
cooperating with their questions. Day tickets are available from the
Spar shop in Poyntzpass and from J C Smyth sports, Vaughan
Chambers and Ronnie
McCamley in Newry.
