Fishing at the River Bann

The Honourable The Irish Society owns extensive fishing rights in Northern Ireland and seeks to manage these in a sustainable way that allows for local and visiting anglers to enjoy reasonably priced fishing, in return for the income being reinvested in fishery protection and development as well as The Society’s charitable grant programme.

Types of Fish

Besides salmon fishing, we have excellent sea trout, brown trout, coarse and pike fishing in our rivers

We employ staff to manage most of the Lower Bann fisheries directly, as well as delegating the management of some rivers and fisheries to local clubs and community organisations. But while still retaining daily visitor permits for tourists.

Salmon fishing has always been the mainstay of the fisheries, but we have excellent trout waters and coarse fishing of international standard too.

This website contains details of everything that anglers need to know before booking their fishing by contacting our Coleraine office.
