Lough Doo
Located in the scenic north Antrim countryside, Lough Doo is a secluded brown trout fishery managed by Fairhead Fishing Club on behalf of DAERA. The lough is stocked with brown trout fingerlings and offers anglers a peaceful fishing experience in a natural upland setting. Its remote location and attractive surroundings make it a popular destination for those seeking quiet, traditional trout fishing. Parking is available nearby; however, access to the lough involves a steep walk from the car park.
Visitors must obtain a day ticket before fishing.
