The River Duff, also known as the Bunduff, is a 14-mile-long spate river flowing from the Glenade valley to the sea in the northwest of Ireland, forming part of the border between County Sligo and County Leitrim. This limestone-backed river is characterized by its fast-clearing nature after rainfall, making it a prolific and concentrated fishery. The most heavily fished section is the bottom 3.5 miles. It is a classic spate river, meaning its fishability is highly dependent on water levels, and it is noted for receiving early runs of salmon and sea trout, offering a legitimate regional option in the Melvin-Drowes catchment area.
