Fishing near Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast sits at the head of Belfast Lough, with the River Lagan running through the city and Lough Neagh — the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles — just to the west. The area draws anglers for both sea fishing on the lough and in the Irish Sea, and freshwater game and coarse fishing on rivers including the Lagan, Six Mile Water, and Blackwater, as well as the vast, pollan- and eel-rich waters of Lough Neagh.
