Lough Lee has a wild stock of brown trout that weighs up to 1kg. They are distinctly and beautifully marked. It is a limestone lake and feeding for the native wild trout is abundant. Adjoining lands are grazed by sheep and dogs are discouraged.
Pedestrian access to this lough is challenging as it crosses over rough grazing/heather lands with no signage.
