Coagh Weir
We have received many messages regarding the new fishing club which has started at Coagh weir. This is not run by our club, but it is run by local men, they started this club due to ongoing, unacceptable anti-social behavior—including fly-tipping, unauthorised fires, littering with broken glass, and severe human fouling of private agricultural land at Coagh Weir the new fishing club for that area has implemented bailiff patrols. The landowner fully supports these actions.
