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 Rural Development’s Forest Service and anglers are liable for the normal charge 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.
