90 percent of these boys only know what the foot of the river looks like. They have never fished the real river faughen. Starting from park and trotting down to the ardlough road hitting about 10 fish throughout the day. That’s All you hear these days. I got a fish at the foot or campsie, they don’t have a clue what she has to offer

Where’s the best places to fish near Park , Claudy and Brackfield , I thought fishing the Faughan at Park was prohibited but probably got wrong info and are you allowed to fish on the river within the Claudy Country Park , new to fishing the river so any info appreciated.
