River Strule

The River Strule winds through County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. It begins where the Camowen and Drumragh rivers meet in Omagh, flowing northward through green farmland and quiet woodlands. After gathering the Fairy Water and Owenkillew rivers, it joins the Derg to form the Mourne. The Strule is known for its clear waters and good trout fishing, especially near the Rash Estate. Anglers visit regularly to cast lines in its pools and gentle runs. The river also shapes the landscape, creating small meadows and wetland edges that attract birds and wildlife. Visitors find calm riverside paths and open fields along the Strule’s banks. The water sparkles in sunlight, and the air carries the scent of damp earth and grass. From Omagh’s bridge you can watch herons stand still in the shallows, while farther north the river widens before it becomes the Mourne.
