River Bann
The Upper Bann is a medium sized river noted for its Brown Trout fishing, which can be
good throughout the season, but especially so when there are hatches of Black Gnats or Blue
Winged Olives. Salmon and Dollaghen may be present in June, but it is generally later in the
season before there are significant numbers.
