Difficult conditions for anglers on the Munster Blackwater with the river in flood. It’s at times like these anglers might do better if they check out the smaller rivers. The river Araglin in Co. Cork which is a tributary of the Blackwater is a prime example.
Earlier in the week Ballyduff Salmon Fishery had Tom Coote catching and releasing 2 fish of around 6lbs on the fly at Ballyduff Bridge. They remind you that they have a few remaining days left for the month of September, so if interested please message them on their facebook page or email: [email protected]
Glenda Powell from the Blackwater Salmon Fishery was delighted as angler Nicola Thompson had her first Munster Blackwater salmon this week.

Blackwater Salmon Fishery
Blackwater Salmon Fishery has 3 beats downstream of the weir and 2 upstream of the weir. Blackwater Salmon Fishery offers fishing on approximately 5 miles of the river Blackwater. The fishing is spread throughout the middle section of the river to offer good sport throughout the fishing season. Due to the location of the beats, fishing can still usually be offered in low or high water.

Ballyduff Bridge Salmon Fishery
Ballyduff Bridge fisheries control a number of beats of the Munster Blackwater. The Ballyduff Bridge beat is almost a mile long offering a huge variety of water and is particularly suited to fly fishing. Upstream near the village of Ballyhooley (a few miles outside the town of Fermoy, Cork) we have two beats. The Ballincurrig Beat is one of the most beautiful locations along the river and has an excellent piece of fly water flowing into a deep pool. Just downstream on the opposite bank we have a short but productive beat, called Magners. This beat fishes also well in high water.
