Blackwater Salmon Fishery River Blackwater, Ireland.
Beginners/Improvers Spey Casting Course. €175 per person, includes; fishing, equipment and lunch. Maximum 6 people.
Saturday 12th April 2025.
Blackwater Salmon Fishery is what we call our ‘home’ waters. It is here that I have lived and grown my children for almost 30 years, and this section of river in the beautiful Blackwater valley in the south east of Ireland holds a very special place in my heart. I would not miss our opening day on the 1st February as it is here that we get together with our friends to celebrate the opening day of the season, and have the opportunity to catch up after the winter has past. I hold many lessons throughout the winter when the weather allows me to, and it is great to be outside, learn more about casting, and we often get to see a salmon jump just to remind us that they are still there.
When I am travelling the fishery operates as normal as Noel my partner will be there to welcome guests in the morning and to show new people around. You can also book Noel as a guide, who will also be able to offer you casting instruction for anyone new to fly fishing.
We do not offer accommodation, but can recommend accommodation in the area to suit your requirements. Please send an email for further information or to make a booking.
