Myrtou Reservoir
Known as Panagra Lake and set in the Panagra Wetlands. A nesting and breeding area for domestic and migratory birds. And given that we don’t have many wetlands an import area of natural interest.
What fishy delights exist in this reservoir will be revealed when this website is completed.
It is about a half hour drive from Girna (Kyrenia).
Gonendere Reservoir
Towards the east coast of the island, nearer to Famagusta.
Just how easy it is get to the water and what fish live in it will be revealed when the website has completed construction.
A bit of a longer drive from the main tourist spots in the north. It is always a quiet place.
Ergazi Dam
Out along the 'pan handle'.
So does this dry looking lake hold big fish? You will have to come back later to find out what has been caught here in 2009.
It is about a forty five minute drive from Girne (Kyrenia).
Gemikoniga Reservoir
Out on the western side of the Island and build to provide water for the many citrus orchards in the area.
It's a reservoir that has the look of a Scottish loch.
While I haven't personally, tried drifting down the reservoir with a team of traditional wet fly, who knows what might be caught. 2010 is going to be the season where we try fly-fishing for Carp. Check out this site after it is completed.
Gonyelli Dam
This reservoir is stuffed full of small fish, you can catch forty fish in a session, but there are bigger fish out there.
In the height of summer the water can become low and weed beds are exposed making it difficult to fish in certain areas, but bites are always plentiful. Bread is a good bait on here, but the large shoals of fry will nibble away at it. In common with most other reservoirs sweet corn is the king of baits.
The Empty Ones
Cyprus is a dry country. It wouldn't be much of a holiday destination if it wasn't. The reservoirs here are for using and some of them, while they are pretty and attractive looking in the spring, are by late summer dry as the beach.
