About Movanagher Canal

The canal has historically provided 43 fishing stands and has been used as a match venue, especially when the River Bann is in flood or coarse fish move into the canal during spring. DAERA currently states that the stands are closed because they no longer meet the required safety standard. Fishing is therefore not permitted, and anyone ignoring the closure may face enforcement action. Anglers should monitor the official DAERA page for repairs, consultation updates and any future reopening announcement.
