    The Duff (or Bunduff) flows for 14 miles from the Glenade valley to the sea.
    It is joined by the Ballanaghtrillick River, which runs out of the Horseshoe Pass. The bottom 3 ½ miles is most fished. This is a prolific little spate river for salmon. The Duff gets a good run of summer salmon and grilse. With good water levels it can fish through to the end of September.

    The Duff is a spate river that can fish very well given the right conditions, especially after a freshet.  Once a flood has let fish run the falls there is some good fishing available above the falls and also some good water upstream of the main road bridge. Anything between 300 and 500 salmon are caught in a season.

    The river is open from 7.30am to 9.30pm

    All legitimate methods are allowed but spinning is prohibited in low water.
