Lough Corry is one of the better Fermanagh easy-add trout lakes because the official description gives it genuine character: upland setting, evening strength, brown trout, added takeable fish and useful boat access. It feels more like a real fishing venue than a token stocked pond, so it is worth treating as a proper Fermanagh stillwater rather than a minor afterthought.

The plan
Plan A
Set up a broadside drift and cover the water systematically. Work Bibio on the bob and Peeping Caddis on the point.
Plan B
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Boat — drift
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.
