The River Deele is a classic Irish spate river flowing through County Donegal, ultimately joining the main River Foyle approximately one mile below Lifford Bridge. Managed by the Deele Community Anglers' Association (DCAA), which was founded in 1963, this river has long been regarded as one of East Donegal's finest angling waters. The Deele is traditionally celebrated as an excellent trout river, with its reputation particularly strong from June onwards. The river flows through a varied landscape characterized by tree-lined banks, pools, riffles, and stretches of quality salmonid habitat, making it a rewarding destination for fly anglers and spin fishers alike.
