Welcome to the website of the Crumlin and District Angling Association owners of the fishing rights to the Crumlin River, Co. Antrim.

 

The Crumlin River

 

The River takes its name from the village of Crumlin, Co Antrim, through which it flows.
 It is a small to medium sized river whose source lies mainly in the western hills and slopes of Divis Mountain. From the foothills of the mountain to its final entry into Lough Neagh it is probably not more than 13 miles in length.  In many respects the River is typical of hundreds of small rivers throughout the island of Ireland holding a good stock of native brown trout in small pools and stretches of fast running streams.  However, in late summer & early autumn, the Crumlin river benefits from a run of dollaghan (Lough Neagh trout) and the occasional salmon – mostly in the lower pools and stretches.. 

The Crumlin River is a recognised ‘game’ fishery.  No ‘maggot’ fishing or ground baiting is permitted – nor is prawn or shrimp fishing allowed.
