The Glenelly River runs through the Sperrins past Plumbridge. Glenelly is a medium sized river (5-20m) and has wild brown trout, but is better known for salmon and sea trout fishing. The latter is best in June and July. Grilse and salmon may not be present in these months but often it is from August to October that salmon fishing is at its best. The river is ideally suited for fly fishing but on some stretches spinning and worming are also allowed.
