 This community project involved the development of two stretches of the Fane riverbank totalling nine miles between Culloville in County Armagh and Blackrock in County Louth.
The project included construction of car park facilities to promote greater regional and tourist enjoyment of the Fane and erection of disabled anglers’ station to open the amenities to the wider community and increase participation of disadvantaged groups in the pastime of game angling. This in turn has encouraged more visitors to the East Border Region where fishermen can enjoy modern facilities.
The funding enabled the promoters to provide up to date equipment in the hatchery which is now a useful resource which can benefit the entire river Fane as well as other local rivers.
