The river at Beltubet at the jetty is fishing well with plenty of Roach. Some English anglers who fished the Belturbet/Killeshandra/Cavan area last week report the best fishing they have had in years. Some pleasure anglers fishing Killykeen, Rann and Cootehill report plenty of Roach and some nice Tench.
