Rivers of the Isle of Man
|
| |
|
| |
The Colby River
is a stream which rises
near the Earystane Plantation and which runs down through Colby Glen to the sea
at Kentraugh. The bottom mile is private after which it is wild stream
fishing.
|
| |
Glen Maye River
flows down Glen Rushen to
the sea near Glen Maye. Another impressive gorge dominates the lowest mile of
this stream up to the high waterfall at Glen Maye. Above here the fishing gets
wider and rougher with some nice little pots in the upper section.
|
| |
Cornaa River
starts below North Barule
and runs into the sea at Port Cornaa. Half a mile up from the sea is a big pool
well worth fishing in the autumn for migratory fish. Thereafter fishing is
difficult up to Ballaglass Glen where there are good pools.
|
| |
Laxey River
starts below Sneefell and
runs into the sea at Laxey. The bottom mile of the stream is difficult through
the village. Then you arrive at the much easier Laxey Glen and above here up to
Glen Roy there is a mile or so of very rough fishing.
|
| |
River Dhoo
flows across the central
valley to Douglas. Fishing is private up to Bradden Bridge. Above this the
river is slow flowing through agricultural land.
|
| |
River
Glass
starts at West Baldwin
Reservoir and flows down to Douglas. Fishing is private up to the Tromode area.
Above here ask permission to fish an increasingly wild stream and its little
tributary, the Baldwin River.
|
| |
Santon River
starts in the Foxdale
area and flows into the sea east of Ballasalla. An interesting little stream.
The bottom mile flows through an impressive gorge with good pools. Above it
becomes narrower so it becomes more overgrown.
|
| |
Silverburn River
starts in the St Marks
area and enters the sea at Castletown. From Castletown to Ballasalla the stream
flows through open meadows. Then you come to the wooded Silverdale Glen and
above here you are once again into overgrown wilderness.
