Glendun River

Running through Northern Ireland / Tuaisceart Éireann, United Kingdom, Glendun River is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Glendun River hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• For European plaice

  When bait fishing, try adding a small, colourful bead just above the hook to attract plaice; they are sight feeders.

• For Ballan wrasse

  Ballan wrasse often inhabit rocky areas, so use a slightly heavier weight to get your bait down quickly and avoid snags.

• For European flounder

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