Cuppanan-Bridge will fish well in early season with bags of Roach to 50lb, and big Bream and Hybrids. With a dry summer the water becomes too shallow and weedy and it is difficult to fish, other places to fish include Drum-Bridge, Knockvicar and Cootehall. All have the potential to be productive on the day.
