This beautiful part of N. Ireland is a fly anglers dream at
a time when the habitat of the wild brown river trout is depleting
all over Europe, and when some fly fishing for trout has an
artificial character, N. Ireland offers the true essence of
the sport - the pursuit of wild trout taking hatching fly
in natural waters. Rivers like the Six Mile Water in County
Antrim provide challenging sport with selective trout of high
average size. Fly fish this trout stream which winds through
the pastures and also offers the angler a chance of a Salmon
or the unique Brown Trout The Dollaghan which behaves in a
similar way to a sea trout but instead of going to sea it
runs to Lough Neagh which is the largest freshwater lake in
the UK covering a mammoth 153 sq miles (400 sq km) and touches
five of the six counties of Northern Ireland. The Dollaghan
grow in many ways similar to Salmon up to 3lb every year while
in the Lough dew to the feeding there , this makes them one
of the biggest wild Brown trout with many specimens being
caught most seasons. Successful methods are spinning, worming,
and fly fishing. But the fly is often most productive in the
evening and into the night they are especially attractive
for the Trout angler.
