History | Moy Valley

A region of outstanding natural beauty in the West of Ireland. It spans North Mayo and West Sligo and provides spectacular landscapes, rugged coastline, some of the country’s finest beaches, a litany of heritage sites and fish filled waters. The River Moy is one of Europe’s top salmon angling destinations and is considered a game anglers paradise. This unparalleled salmon run provides an average of 8,000 to the rod annually, representing 30% of Ireland’s total salmon catch. The Moy estuary also provides quality sea trout fishing and the nearby Lough Conn and Lough Cullen are renowned for their brown trout. While the regions reputation for game angling is uncontested, the opportunities for the coarse and sea angler are equally limitless.

Mount Falcon Luxury Hotel Mayo has been inextricably linked with the River Moy and salmon fishing throughout its history. Mount Falcon residents can enjoy exclusively two miles of private fishing rights on both banks of the Moy River.
