DAERA - Angling Waters (Development schemes) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992
What is happening?
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs has received an application under the provisions of the above scheme from Gracehill Galgorm and District Angling Club for the rights to operate a game fishery on the River Braid from Tullygarley Bridge downstream to its confluence with the River Maine, and on the River Maine from land at 6º20’47” W 54º52’31” N downstream to Slaght Bridge.
Whereas the owner of the fishing rights in this water is unknown or cannot be found the Department proposes to authorise the development of the derelict waters as defined in accordance with the scheme submitted by the applicant.
The scheme will provide for the improvement of waters and the provision of angling. The scheme may be inspected at 16 Dunluce Park, Ballymena, BT422NQ.
Before authorising the development of waters the Department, in pursuance of section 3 of the
Fisheries act (NI) 1966 as amended, invites any person who claims any right of fishing in the
waters or objects to their development, to notify the grounds to their claim to the Department
of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Clare House, 303 Airport Road West, Belfast
BT39JP no later than 5th March 2026.
The Department will consider any such notification or objections in line with the relevant
section 3 of the Fisheries Act (NI) 1966 before a final decision is taken.
