Dave's Top Tips - The Irish Crumb Carpet
In Northern Ireland, don't overcomplicate your feed. On the big wild waters, the local experts rely on massive amounts of Brown Crumb. Instead of using fancy "match" mixes, take a large bucket of coarse brown crumb and mix it so it's just wet enough to hold in a feeder but explodes on impact with the bottom. This creates a huge, visible carpet of natural bait that draws in wild shoals from a distance without making them suspicious with strong artificial scents.
Coarse fishing in Northern Ireland offers anglers access to a wide range of lakes, loughs, canals, and commercial fisheries spread across some of the most scenic parts of the UK and Ireland. The region is particularly well known for its large natural waters, with famous venues such as Lough Neagh and Upper Lough Erne attracting anglers targeting species including bream, roach, perch, pike, and hybrids throughout the year.
Alongside the larger lough systems, Northern Ireland also has a growing number of stillwaters and commercial fisheries that provide more accessible fishing for pleasure anglers, match anglers, and carp anglers alike. Many venues offer peaceful rural surroundings and a quieter style of fishing, with waters ranging from small stocked lakes through to expansive natural venues with a strong coarse fishing history.
From County Fermanagh and County Tyrone through to County Antrim and County Armagh, Northern Ireland offers a mixture of traditional coarse fishing and modern commercial venues suited to a variety of angling styles. This page brings together the main coarse fishing areas across Northern Ireland, helping anglers explore local waters and discover fisheries suited to their approach to fishing.
