River Dee: The River Dee rises near Bailieboro in Co. Cavan and flows in a northeasterly direction for over 30 miles before entering the Irish Sea at Annagassan. It possesses stocks of native wild brown trout as well as its migratory cousins the Atlantic salmon and the sea trout. This rich water gets hatches of Mayfly as well as olives & sedges. The characteristics of this river changes from slow flowing from Whitewood lake to Nobber to fast flowing pool and riffle areas from Nobber to Garvey bridge below which it returns to deep slow water. From Ardee to the sea is interspersed between run riffle and pool an ideal habitat for salmon and sea trout. Access is difficult in some areas. DETAILED MAP from Eastern Fisheries Board

River Glyde The River Glyde owes its origins to a series of smaller tributaries, which rise in Counties Cavan and Monaghan. These include the Tubermannin and the Killany Rivers, which contain stocks of brown trout. The upper reaches of the Glyde are known as the Lagan River which is deep and slow flowing. The Lagan and Kilanny River meet at Tully Co. Louth and form the River Glyde. The Glyde flows in a S.E. direction for 35 miles approximately before entering the Irish Sea at the picturesque seaside village of Annagassan. DETAILED MAP from Eastern Fisheries Board

A Note on Littering along rivers and at parking areas!

The Litter Pollution Act, 1997 , as amended by the Waste Management (Amendment) Act 2001 and the Protection of the Environment Act 2003, introduced strong penalties in Ireland to help combat the problems of litter pollution more effectively. The definition of 'litter' under this legislation is quite wide and extends from casual pieces of paper or cigarette ends to anything large or small that is, or is likely to become, unsightly.

Louth County Council is responsible for implementing the litter laws in our area. This means it is responsible for the prevention and control of litter and has the power to take enforcement action against people who break or ignore these laws. Louth County Council is responsible for keeping public places that are under its control, (including public roads), clear of litter as far as is practicably possible. This includes the arrangement of cleansing programmes and the provision and emptying of litter bins. Gardai also have the power to issue on-the-spot fines for litter offences. Anglers should be aware of these laws and ensure that they do not leave Litter behind them.

Anyone found dropping or dumping litter will be reported to Louth County Council Litter Wardens!
