	River Foyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Foyle is a river in the northwest of Ireland, which flows from the confluence of the rivers Finn and Mourne at Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, to the city of Derry, where it discharges into Lough Foyle and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean.
		Due to the presence of two bridges over the river in Derry, and a city blighted by poverty, many young Derry males choose to attempt suicide by jumping into the deep and fast moving Foyle.
		'Foyle Search and Rescue' was established as a charity in July 1993 and has adopted the role of protecting human life in the River Foyle from the Craigavon Bridge to the Foyle Bridge.

		Salmon, sea-trout and brown trout afford sport in most of the rivers and loughs, and Glenties for the Owenea river, and Gweedore for the Cla dy, in the west; Killybegs for the Eanymore and Eask, in the south; and Rathmelton and Rosapenna for the Owencarrow and Leannan, in the north, may be mentioned as centres.

		The Finn is 40 miles long and together with its tributary the Reelan River, drains a catchments area of 195 square miles.
		Why the majority of salmon from other Foyle system rivers are normally of Grilse run - except the River Finn - has always been something of a mystery, for the Finn has the main run of spring salmon in the Foyle system.
		Salmon enter the Foyle at Magilligan and travel 25 miles of lough and river, until they arrive at the mouth of the Mourne and Finn at Lifford, where with rare exception, the spring salmon turn west into the Finn.
