fishing

Fishing is plentiful in the Glens of Antrim. Its superb variety of rivers and lakes are home to most kinds of freshwater fish. Salmon, sea trout and brown trout frequent the Margy, Carey, Glenshesk, Dun, Dall and Glen rivers. The lakes and reservoirs at Larne, Dungonnell and Fair Head are also good for brown trout. You can fish off the rocks, beaches and piers around Larne, Ballygalley, Glenarm, Cushendall and Ballycastle for plaice, cod, pollock, dogfish and mackerel. Boats can be hired at most harbours to fish along the coast and off Rathlin Island, at Hunter's Buoy, the Maidens, and Muck Island.
