Your Complete Guide
to the River Moy
N26

18
The River Moy, with a catchment area of 2080 km2, is Ireland’s most prolific game fishery
with an annual average rod catch of 8,295 salmon for the years 2005 to 2009.
The main Moy channel is up to 40 metres wide in places and comprises a variety of
private and association angling waters to suit all tastes and budgets. The river’s
premier salmon angling stretch is The Moy Fishery in Ballina town.
To Swinford
These largely fly-fishing beats are highly sought after by anglers from all
over the world and must be booked well in advance.
N26
The Moy Estuary offers a unique opportunity to the angler
with superb stocks of feeding seatrout, which can be
caught on bait or fly.
