		The management of the Foyle fishery is based on real time stock data and spawning targets and fishing effort by commercial and angling interests and is managed and adjusted each season.
		I live on the Foyle and I agree that the fishery has been to the forefront in developing systems for counting and tagging although it has been criticised on the questions of closures, pricing and the availability of licences.
		The Foyle fishermen have often felt aggrieved at having to cease fishing when fishermen in other areas were allowed to continue.

		Derry (or Londonderry as many know it - the 'London' was added in 1613 by charter of James 1) straddles the Foyle just before it becomes Lough Foyle, a huge span of water opening to the North Sea.
		The Foyle is a gathering of several rivers from widely differing watersheds which come together at or above the twin towns of Lifford and Strabane, which stand on either bank.
		Their combined lengths dwarf the Foyle's own, which is all of just 32 km (20 miles), though Lough Foyle is as long again as the river and almost as wide at its southern reaches.

	Ireland's Inland Waterways - Strabane and Broharris Canals
		In 1791 an Act was passed authorising the construction of a four-mile canal from the tidal waters of the Foyle, about ten miles upstream of Derry, to Strabane.
		It was suggested that Lough Foyle should be linked by canal with Lough Swilly but nothing came of this plan.
		An appeal from the inhabitants of Limavady for a canal the whole way to the town from Lough Foyle was turned down and the cut, known locally as the Broharris Canal, was the nearest they came to achieving a navigable link with the lough.
