Grantstown Lake is situated within Grantstown Wood Nature Reserve, which is owned and managed by my Department and is visited by staff of the National Parks and Wildlife Service of my Department on a regular basis. As part of the management objectives for the reserve my Department is seeking to allow fishing on the lake on a controlled basis and to that end has contacted the Southern Regional Fishery Board with a view to discussing the issues involved.
