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.

Opening Times:

The fishing season runs from 1 March to 31 October annually.
