The River Faughan is a medium sized spate river, an important game fishery on the Foyle system, with significant runs of salmon and sea trout from June through to the end of the season. The River Faughan Anglers Ltd manages the fishing as an association water. The popular areas can be busy at times, but by offering over 20 miles of double bank fishing over the entire river system, there is plenty of fishing available for everyone.
