You might be better with a floating line and dries for the Lake in May.

Hi try Lough Ennell or lough owl in the midlands, Lough Lene would not be my first choice for lakes in the midlands. If you really want pratice on your sinking lines for wild trout that live deep all year round then you need to head to Co Wicklow, there is a lake there where the anglers fish nothing but sinking lines all year long.
