A small Donegal Bay spate river that rises in the Crockanpeast Mountains north-west of Killybegs and enters Donegal Bay at the north of Killybegs Harbour. It is CLOSED to salmon and sea-trout angling for 2026 (zero harvest quota, Ballyshannon district) and is listed here only for regulatory completeness — it is not a confident angling recommendation. A flashy spate system on Dalradian metamorphic bedrock (the Termon Formation — banded semi-pelitic and psammitic schist), typical of south-west Donegal. Do not surface this as a salmon destination; monitor IFI bulletins for any future change. Atlantic salmon and sea trout are managed under IFI's Wild Salmon & Sea Trout Tagging Scheme — many rivers are catch-and-release and harvest is allowed only where a confirmed surplus exists, so check the river's current status before fishing.
No venue-specific hatch data yet; as a Donegal spate river, expect a flashy, largely stonefly, olive and sedge food base typical of the region's spate systems — a general expectation for this water type, not an observed hatch.
