The upper reaches of the Six Mile Water are managed by Ballynure Angling Club. The brown trout can offer great sport, with runs of dollaghan and some salmon available from around August onwards.
ACCESS Doagh Bridge, Station Road upstream. You can park on the verge at the roundabout or layby nearby half way between the Doagh Roundabout and Ballyclare, just before the Ballyrobert Road. There is a lane on the left-hand side of the main road and a fishing notice on a tree marks the lane. Park on the verge and walk down the lane to the river. This gives access to the best sections of the river, up and down stream of an old bridge. Ballyclare Six Mile Leisure Centre This area provides good upstream access and a short walk along the soccer pitches will take you to the river. Ballyclare Town This stretch has easy access from the town or riverside carparks along Mill Road.
The fishing season runs from 1 March to 31 October annually.
