2019 fish stocking figures

Fisheries in the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) Public Angling Estate are stocked with fish from Movanagher Fish Farm. The fish stocking table below is updated when monthly stocking has been confirmed.

Fish stock size and weight

Public Angling Estate fisheries are stocked on a regular basis but can not always be stocked in summer months in line with fish welfare policy.

These waters will be stocked with takeable fish larger than 25.4 centimetres and an average weight greater than 300 grams. DAERA Inland Fisheries tries to make sure that these waters are stocked regularly depending on their quota, however they are not stocked on a monthly basis.

Contact DAERA Inland Fisheries by phone or email if you have stocking queries. Information on future stocking is not available.
