In Northern Ireland coarse fishing is generally open year-round, while game (salmon and trout) waters have closed seasons, typically from late October to the end of February, varying by water. Check DAERA's angling pages or ask the venue before travelling.
Northern Ireland uses a separate licence system run by DAERA (not the Environment Agency). A season rod licence costs £17 for coarse or game fishing (ages 19 to 59), dropping to £5 from age 60, with juniors aged 12 to 18 at £2. Some venues like Salmon Leap may also require a permit on top of the licence, so confirm with the fishery before you travel. Read our full guide at /blog/fishing-licence-uk-guide.
