HISTORY

Craigmore Fishery is a beautiful man made lake fed with crystal clear spring water. An incredible 44 springs in the lake bed supply the fishery with water which remains clear throughout the year. Construction commenced in 1992 and took three years to complete. The lake then was given three years to acclimatise which facilitated the proliferation of plant and insect life. Craigmore Fishery was then opened to the general public in late 1999 and subsequently has become one of the finest and most successful fisheries in the country. Historically at Craigmore there have been substantial hatches of buzzers, lake olives, and damsel nymphs. Corixa and fresh water shrimp are also in abundance throughout the year. Due to the prolific fly life at Craigmore some of the most spectacular summer evening rises are to be seen. This combination of fresh water and natural feeding results in some of the best tasting trout available today...
