Getting there

Bank access: UnknownCompact (4-acre / 1.6 ha) lake designed for tuition and day-ticket fishing, which typically implies mown, walk-round bank access, but no site map, photos, or description of bank condition/quality was found to confirm this directly — treat as inferred, not verified.

Weed: UnknownNo source found describing marginal or bed weed at Annamoe specifically. Small dammed/pond-style put-and-take waters of this type often carry some marginal weed, but this is a general inference, not a confirmed fact for this water — flagged rather than guessed at a level.

Coarse fry present (Minnow)

Local notes

Annamoe is a compact, fly-only 4-acre (1.6 ha) lake on the banks of the Avonmore River near Roundwood/Laragh, stocked with rainbow and brown trout from around 1 kg up to specimen fish. The fishery's own natural minnow stocks mean small fry-imitating lures earn their place in the box alongside the standard buzzer and nymph selection. At a reported average depth of around 3 m, a floating or slow-intermediate line covers most fishing; sinking lines, boobies and bibio-style lures typically take over as conditions cool into the autumn/winter Winter League (Oct-Dec). Reliable topside patterns for rising fish include elk hair sedge, klinkhammer, black gnat and Greenwell's spider, with pheasant tail nymph, gold-ribbed hare's ear, silver spider and buzzer patterns worked slow and deep when fish are down. The water doubles as a teaching fishery, so expect company on the bank pegs, especially at weekends.
