Hundreds of fish die in County Antrim river
Hundreds of fish have been found dead in the Six Mile Water river in County Antrim.
Billy Robinson from Ballynure Angling Club walked a few miles alongside the river on Sunday afternoon.
He said he saw dead fish from Doagh bridge right up towards Ballyclare.
"There are quite a few dead trout, from small fish, up to fish weighing three quarters of a pound to a pound in weight, so it seems to be a total fish kill," he said.
"I'm looking over the bridge at the moment and there must be around 30 or 40 fish dead in the space of a few yards.
