Crumlin River



Crumlin and District Angling Association own the fishing rights to the Crumlin River. This river takes its name from the village of Crumlin, through which it flows. It is a small to medium sized river whose source lies mainly in the western hills and slopes of Divis Mountain. From the foothills of the mountain to its final entry into Lough Neagh, it is probably not more than 13 miles (21 kms) in length.  In many respects the Crumlin River is typical of the hundreds of small rivers that flow throughout the island of Ireland, holding a good stock of native brown trout in small pools and stretches of fast running streams. However, in late summer and early autumn, the Crumlin River benefits from a run of dollaghan (Lough Neagh trout) and the occasional salmon – mostly in the lower pools and stretches.
