Welcome to Portglenone |
Match Venue Details
The Lower Bann is considered to be Northern Ireland's premier coarse fishing river. It is a wide and deep river and is strongly affected by heavy rain that is collected into Lough Neagh by tributaries and flushed out along the Lower Bann by means of automated lough gates. The flow of the river strongly effects the fishing methods used. The pole, Whip and feeder are the most common methods used. Anglers would need to be prepared for the unpredictable flow strengths of the river as they can change overnight. It contains a good head of Bream, Roach, Eels and Hybrids. Recent weights include two roach weights of 33kg. Now that is fishing.
At Portglenone there are 89 permanent pegs, the top carpark gates are normally unlocked at 07:30 hours and this is where peg 1 starts. The other car parks along the stretch are opened by pre-arrangement, contact details can be obtained from the organisers if required.
