It is said by the old people that the time when Colmcille visited Trillick and the Marahs it is said that he put a spell on the rushes and from that day to the day that the rushes never grew straight. When he was fishing in the Mill river and had caught nothing he cursed it and said that there would never be a salmon caught in it.- Collector
