Dunalis Reservoir is a 10 acre spring-fed rainbow trout fishery that is open all year round. The lake managed by Coleraine Anglers Association on behalf of the Department. There is access around the lake with several seats and shelters. Due to narrow banks, casting is restricted in many areas. Four day tickets Costing £5.00 per day are available to DAERA Game Permit holders. You must buy day tickets before you fish - they cannot be pre-booked. You can buy day tickets from the following tackle shops in Coleraine: Outdoor and Country Sports, 58 Society Street and Smyth’s Country Sports, Park Street.
