The Fish Hatchery, Cornaa

The Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry operates a fish hatchery at Ballaglass near Cornaa. All the rainbow and brown trout released into the Reservoirs are reared at this site, which is open to the public one day each week. The majority of the fish are reared to a size of just over a pound in weight before stocking although larger fish are regularly released. On average approximately 30,000 fish are introduced into the reservoirs over the angling season.

Visitors are welcome to visit the site during visiting hours and see the rearing pools and fish for themselves.
