How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Current conditions suit Corkagh Park Fishery well for autumn tactics. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Murrough (8-10) — on the bob / top dropper. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Murrough (8-10) — on the bob / top dropper. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.

Plan B

A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.

Watch for

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

About this water

A small park fishery at Clondalkin: a three-and-a-half-acre trout lake and a separate coarse lake, both fed off the Camac River. It is worth saying plainly that the fishery is currently under review by South Dublin County Council and the fishing is limited for now — so confirm the situation before you travel rather than after.

Hatches & food

A small put-and-take park lake fed off the Camac — a buzzer-and-corixa stillwater where rainbows respond to chironomid, damsel and small lures rather than natural upwing hatches; fly life is limited and stocking-led.
