Situated about two miles form the town of Kilrea, just off the A54 road to Coleraine, and on the west bank of the Lower Bann, Movanagher West is a beautiful setting for 79 fishing pegs.
Access can be difficult, with a 200-300m walk from the lay-by to the pegs.
The fishing here is variable, but shoals of Bream, Roach and Hybrids are all common. Perch, Pike and Eel are also present.
As a result, pleasure bags of up to 100lbs are not unknown, particularly if feeder tactics are used.The maggot and caster are recommended in particular.
However, this is mainly a summer venue as high water levels can make access to the pegs difficult.
