These loughs lie in wonderful mountain
scenery in the Navar Forest Park.
Achork and Meenameen hold good
stocks of brown trout and these are
augmented with some 7000 takeable
brown trout.The limestone terrain
produces good trout and some
wonderful fly hatches.The fishing can
be productive from the very beginning
of the season. Olives, sedges and the
chironomids are all found and the
standard artificials work well as do
small dark patterns. Some mayfly
appear on Meenameen in season.
Access is excellent and car parks are
on the waters edge at Meenameen and
Glencreawan and alongside the road
at Achork.
Navar Forest Park is administered by
the Department of Agriculture and

for cars using the Forest Drive.This is a
beautiful 7.5 miles/12.2kms of winding
road with some wonderful and
panoramic views over Fermanagh,
Lough Erne and west to the Donegal
coast.There is a cliff top view point,
which together with a touring caravan
site, picnic areas and forest walks
makes the Park ideal for a family outing.
