Yeah I fish it a good bit when the grilse are running. Any sign of a start yet? Fish it a bit upstream of Dungiven though- start a few pools Upstream from Bonnanaboigh. U fish it much yourself?

[joee]

never hutchy thats why am going to tackle it once the rain comes.

From what i have been readsing mid July should be the start but as i say i know next to nothing about it. Been studying the maps for the pools today got me thinking about stickin up a wee post.


What pools would you say would be worth a throw. Maybe a days out fishing is on the cards

Well my granda has fished it for 50 odd years so he has passed on some info. Landed one just under the 10lb mark last year on Williamson on the fly.

Strawberry is worth a chuck and right along there is meant to be good including stepping stones etc.

Farm Hole and Turn Hole produce a good number on he worm. McClenaghans is nice fly water.


That should keep you busy for a day anyway. You fishing on the fly or spinning/worm?
PS: Ask others to back this up as I don't fish it that regularly

Am a fly man only thanks for the info pal. Now all we need is rain.

I have a copy of the maps printed out for ref on the day. Always hamdy to have a river/pool map while out somewhere your not sure off
