Fishing near Lifford, Co. Donegal

Lifford sits on the River Foyle system in County Donegal, at the point where the River Finn and the River Mourne converge. The Finn, flowing in from the Bluestack Mountains through Ballybofey and Stranorlar, is one of Ireland's foremost salmon and grilse rivers, accounting for roughly 40% of the entire Foyle catch. The nearby River Deele and smaller tributaries add further coarse and game fishing options to a catchment that draws anglers from across the island.
