Suspension of netting and restriction to angling

Suspension of netting and restriction to angling

Date: 31/01/2018


Loughs Agency have made a Declaration to advise anglers that all of the River Finn will operate on a catch and release basis during the 2018 season. The Declaration also suspends commercial netting on the River Foyle, Lough Foyle and seaward of Lough Foyle.

We would like to remind anglers that the entirety of the River Foyle and Loughs Agency permit waters on the River Finn will continue to operate on a catch and release basis as well.

The number of salmon which have migrated upstream of the River Finn Fish Counter during each of the previous five years has not exceeded the minimum 5,410, stipulated by the Foyle Area (Control of Fishing) Regulations 2010.
