About Sillees
Flowing through Northern Ireland / Tuaisceart Éireann, United Kingdom, Sillees is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Sillees hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Sillees can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

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

When fishing for roach, use light tackle and fine lines for better bite detection.
