East Mayo Anglers’ Association welcomes you to the River Moy; Ireland’s finest salmon river.
The River Moy is internationally famous for its excellent salmon fishing, and attracts anglers from all over the globe.
The East Mayo Anglers’ Association is located only 10 minutes from Ireland West Airport Knock and offers over 9 miles of prime fishing water. Our fishery starts at Cloongullane Bridge flowing down river to Oldcastle, Meelick Swinford and continues until the right hand bank at Clongee Fishery, outside Foxford and the left hand bank at the drain with McHales.
There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm.
Located 5 kilometres south of Foxford on the main Castlebar Road (N58). The road crosses the river at Ballylahan Bridge and parking is available at the bridge.
This stretch of water incorporates some of the finest fly fishing runs and natural holding pools on the system and offers a variety of fishing to the angler, including fly, spinning and worming.
Convenient free parking is available at various locations along the river (View Map). Daily and weekly permits can be purchased online, from our office in Swinford or any of these locations.
