Head of the Lords Pool, River Mourne, April 2020, DSC_2261 to DSC_2262
Another one of the salmon fishing pools on the River Mourne, controlled by Sion Mills Angling Club (SMAC).
This is the stretch where a 22-year-old 'Lord Strabane' (James Hamilton, 3rd Baron Hamilton of Strabane) died on 16th June 1655 being drown bathing in the River Mourne at Ballyfatten, near Strabane.
The Lords Hole is a prized fly-fishing pool, for both salmon and sea trout. It is best fished at the start of the season when fish are running or when water levels are too low upstream.
