Fishing

Mount Falcon is the Angling Hub of Ireland's Northwest

Some of the very best Salmon & Sea Trout fishing in Ireland

The stunning Mount Falcon estate is situated on the banks of Ireland’s beautiful River Moy, one of the most prolific Salmon Rivers in Ireland.   

With fishing rights on two miles of a double bank stretch of the Moy Mount Falcon has been home to both expert and novice anglers' first fish of the season, or often their first ever Wild Atlantic Salmon. Male or female, young or not so young, you are most welcome to join us in maintaining that tradition. As well as the river Moy the region is blessed with a number of other superb salmon fisheries. Within an hour's drive of Mount Falcon are not only a number of prolific spate river fisheries, but also lakes where you can cast a fly for spring salmon, summer salmon and grilse. Mount Falcon is pleased to be able to offer guests the opportunity to fish a variety of these waters, including The Owenduff, The Erriff, Moy (Mount Falcon/Moy Fishery beats), and Beltra and Carramore lakes. While a number of the above venues do produce sea trout (mainly as a by-product of salmon fishing), the main venue in the region for this species is the Moy Estuary. While they are caught by a variety of methods more anglers are turning to fly fishing either from the shore or a drifting boat.

Our 3-acre spring fed estate lake offers year-round fly fishing for hard fighting rainbow trout. The sea angler is well catered with the sheltered waters of Clew Bay, and Kilalla Bay providing the opportunity to fish for a diverse range of species including blue shark, and common skate. The numerous shore marks enable the land-based angler to try for a variety of fish, using either traditional shore methods or the increasingly popular saltwater fly-fishing technique. Pike abound in both the large waters such as Conn and Mask, and in the more intimate waters such as Derryhick and Levally Lakes. Every year Pike in excess of 25lbs are taken. Let us arrange for a specialist Pike guide to take you fishing as the pike of a lifetime awaits.

To help, we can supply all your tackle and introduce you to waters to suit all abilities and tastes. And we have ghillies on hand to either illustrate new techniques or offer advice on improving those you already have. It’s really up to you.

And that is the essence of the Mount Falcon experience for the angler – choice. You have one of the finest Salmon fisheries on your doorstep plus some of the most renowned Salmon and Sea Trout fisheries within a one-hour drive.  

So there you have it, a great location, unrivalled fishing and all your needs catered for – all you have to do is wet your line.

Please be advised that river fishing is available for Mount Falcon residents 16 years of age and older.
