Who are we ?

The Dee and Glyde Fishing Development Association was setup over 50 years ago in an attempt to preserve and improve fishing facilities for our members & visiting anglers on the Rivers Dee & Glyde in Co. Louth. Our ethos is to protect and develop the rivers in our locality, to promote tourism and to have the motto of "Angling for all". Our Membership is limited each year and we have a policy for encouraging young members into the Association to carry on the work that we do.

Where are we ?
The Association is mid-Louth based, and is situated in the North-East of Ireland (Co .Louth) approximately 30 miles from Dublin Airport which is now even easier to get to just off the M1 Motorway . Multimap directions

The Rivers Dee & Glyde form the backbone of our fishing waters, with good runs of Brown Trout & Sea Trout throughout the fishing season. further information on the rivers can be found on the Members Page.

Salmon fishing is strictly prohibited on Both Rivers.

Anyone caught fishing for or in possession of Salmon will be prosecuted.
