This is the project that was finished on the Aghlisk river last year. The club received a grant for £23,000 to complete the project putting in another £4000 of the monies that had been collected from the penalties for non return of catches.
This area has had several pollution incidents over 12 years the most recent in 2018 and 2021. These had a devastating effect on the trout and salmon population from here to the Drumragh river.
Prior to the work the area was a slow moving river . 14 horseshoe deflector groynes were put in , spawning beds enhanced and plumbstones for shelter and there was new fencing erected to keep the animals out. There will be an area of approx 860m of a buffer zone with new tree planting to offer more protection from predators.
Hopefully we will see the benefits of this work soon
