Salmon and trout fishing in Ireland

Discover the Moy in the North West of Ireland in search of Irish salmon. Whether fly fishing or casting, the Moy is an ideal playground for learn or improve your Atlantic salmon fishing skills (The Moy is a very prolific river! Between 80,000 and 120,000 salmon swim up it every year! This makes it a great destination for beginners looking to catch their first salmon, as well as for experienced anglers looking to catch several salmon in the same week, or even on the same day. 

Even so, a good knowledge of the routes and the environment is essential if you want to succeed.

Information about your guide

Kilian

I come from a 4-generation line of sport fishermen and we're the first family in France to have 3 professional fishing guides.

I chose Ireland to accompany the fishermen to two of my favourite fish: the sea bass, prince of the Celtic seas, and the king of rivers, the Atlantic salmon.

The detailed programme

The best times to fish for salmon on the Moy are from mid-May to early June, although you can still fish as early as late April.

When the conditions aren't right, we can also fish for trout and sea trout in small rivers, or pike in boats on superb lakes, either with lures or flies. When there's too much water on the Moy, there are several good quality spate rivers close to our original fishing spot.

To ensure the best possible quality of fishing, a sixth salmon fishing guide may be considered for groups of more than 3 anglers.

The group can be made up of more than 3 anglers if they know each other or share the same fishing philosophy: casting or fly fishing.
