River Bush

Bushmills, Co Antrim

Close to the Giants Causeway on the North Antrim coast the River Bush offers top class salmon fishing. The river is a spate water and the best fishing is June to October. A Game Rod licence is required along with a DAERA permit or day ticket to fish on all sections of the River Bush.

Angling on the lower part of the river is divided into several beats. Day Tickets are required to fish the four special angling beats. Anglers can only purchase these by visiting the Angling Office at the River Bush Salmon Station during office hours or online. Further upstream the river Bush offers reasonable salmon angling from July to the end of the season.
