to fish the margy you will need a permit from Bells tackle shop at ballycastle, but if u have a ministry permit you get the day permit for free. cracker wee river, got my first seatrout from it

all 8 inches of it lol. there brown trout arnt really worth fishing for as they all seem a bit on the small side, but i have seen a few takable brownies at it
