Bann

Bann cuts through Northern Ireland / Tuaisceart Éireann, United Kingdom and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Bann — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic mackerel

  When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.

• For European flounder

  When using lures, fish slowly along the bottom with occasional twitches to attract attention; flounder are ambush predators.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
