Coarse Fishing
The lakes and rivers listed as coarse
fishing centres contain the commonly found coarse fish
species, bream, roach, rudd, hybrids, pike, perch and
eels. Waters containing additional species such as tench
and carp are noted where appropriate.
There are no license or permit requirements on many of
the waters mentioned below and generally the fishing is
free.
There are however a number of angling laws with which the
visiting angler should become familiar.
| 1. |
It is illegal to possess or use live fish
as bait.
|
| 2. |
The only legal method to catch freshwater fish is by
rod and line.
|
| 3. |
It is illegal to transfer live roach from one water
to any other waters.
|
| 4. |
A person may not fish with more than two rods at any
time. |
Fishermen who are crossing into Northern Ireland for
coarse fishing are advised that a coarse rod licence
and permit are required to fish. Licences can be purchased
at outlets throughout the North. Details on outlets
are available from the Fisheries Conservancy Board for
Northern Ireland (FCBNI), 1 Mahon Road, Portadown, Craigavon,
Co Armagh. Tel: +44 28 38334666
