Along The Faughan Side

First Edition. A comprehensive and scarce book on the River Faughan and the Faughan valley, its people, its natural history and its fishing. The fishing sections cover white and brown trout, salmon, sea trout and coarse fish and include a great deal on local fly patterns plus an appendix on spider patterns. The River Faughan stretches for 29 miles from Sawel Mountain in the Sperrins to the Foyle. It is only inches across at its source and half a mile wide where it meets Lough Foyle. Olly McGilloway has spent a great proportion of his spare time, over more than 40 years, along the river. He takes the reader on an information-packed walk along its full length. The book also contains chapters on the history of people in the valley, the antiquities, the birds and mammals found there and, of course, the fish. This book is an indispensible guide for the fisherman and those interested in nature and the history of a beautiful river valley.” pp. 217 Illustrated #060416
