Movanagher Canal

This fishery is a good match angling venue, particularly when the River Bann is in flood or in spring time when coarse fish move into the canal to spawn. The water from this canal supplies the Movanagher Fish Farm and anglers should not discard litter. Beware of the deep water. Fishing is not allowed from the west bank between the canal and the river. There are three car parks at the canal bank. It is an ideal venue for competitions with 43 stands available.
