Boats: - Disabled Access: - The Mourne is a big river (20m +) and although it has a good population of brown trout, (5lb +) the main quarries are salmon, grilse and sea trout. Spring salmon are best from April to mid May with the bulk of the grilse and summer salmon arriving from June to the end of the season in October. Sea trout are at their peak in June and July. The average size of salmon is around 2/3kg during the main run from mid June to the end of the season. Salmon up to 10kg are caught regularly. It is at the limit of the tidal stretch and if it is to be fished properly requires a double handed rod, chest waders and a wading staff. Wading can be dangerous. Shrimp flies are popular (local patterns exist) and it is good spinning and worming water in suitable conditions There is great fly water on this stretch but spinning and worming are also popular. This part of the river does not necessarily require a spate and in fact will generally fish better in lower water conditions. Under an agreement with the Department, Sion Mills Angling Club manages the fishing rights in those parts of the River Mourne under the Department’s control. They are operated in conjunction with the Sion Mills Angling Club stretches as a single fishery. 30 day tickets are available daily, at a small charge to provide liability insurance cover, to holders of DCAL Adult or Juvenile Game Season Permits. These may be obtained on production of a valid Department Permit from The Tourist Office Melmount Road Sion Mills Strabane Co Tyrone. A day ticket charge of £5.00 is payable for a holder of an adult or concessionary DCAL full season permit and £2.50 for a holder of a juvenile DCAL permit. Otherwise, the day ticket fee is £15.00 and £7.50 respectively. Check Sion Mills Angling Club web pages for more info. |
