This is an attractive small river which is fishable from its confluence with the Bann up to Ballymoney town. The lower reach is slow and deep giving way to tree shaded pools and riffles up to the town Above the town the river is typically spawning and nursery habitat which the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure is improving as a source of wild stock to enhance the river downstream. Small numbers of salmon and sea trout enter the lower stretches of the river providing opportunities for a surprise encounter with a bigger fish. From August to October a run of migratory brown trout from the Bann can provide good sport.
