Salmon and Sea Trout Angling on the River Roe, Northern Ireland

The River Roe rises high above the Glenshane Pass in the Sperrin Mountains before dropping rapidly to Dungiven. This spate river then makes its way through the beautiful wooded Roe Valley Country Park before meandering across the broad Lough Foyle lowlands. Sea trout fishing starts the season on the Roe, with fine runs from late June to August. Salmon fishing is at its best from August onwards, proving most productive in spate conditions in the mid-section of the river. The Roe discharges directly into Lough Foyle (a sea lough off the Atlantic).
