Fishing near Portadown, Northern Ireland

Portadown sits in County Armagh on the Upper Bann, and the river running through the town is the centrepiece of the local fishing scene. The 16-kilometre stretch of the Upper Bann downstream from Portadown to Lough Neagh is regarded as one of the best coarse fisheries in Europe, drawing anglers to purpose-built stands and access points along both banks. Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, lies just a few kilometres to the north.
