Carrigdrohid Reservoir sits on the River Lee in County Cork, Ireland, nestled in a scenic valley setting upstream of the Inniscarra hydro power station. Located approximately 12 km from Cork City and 6 km from Blarney Village, with the town of Macroom serving as the nearest hub, this ESB-managed reservoir is a well-regarded coarse fishing destination in the southwest of Ireland. The reservoir is part of the broader River Lee system, which encompasses both Inniscarra and Carrigdrohid lakes, and is jointly managed by ESB and Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI). The water levels can vary, as is typical of a working reservoir, and anglers should factor this into their planning.
