Connacht - River Moy
River Moy
Co. Mayo
 There are ten fisheries on the river which let fishing.The rest of the river is free fishing.The main river is 62 miles long and enters the sea at Ballina.
The Department of Marine purchased the former Moy Fishery Company and operates draft nets in tidal waters and salmon traps at the top of the tide in Ballina.
The Moy is probably the most prolific salmon river in the country. A major arterial drainage scheme was carried out on the river between 1960 and 1970. The works had a devastating effect on the natural character of the river and most famous fishing sites were destroyed. The drainage works did not appear to have a long term effects on the river to produce salmon. This has remained good as good as ever.
It is said that fresh salmon run the Moy every month of the year. The grilse begin running in early May. The peak is from about the 20th May to 20th July. The grilse range in size from about 3 to 7lb and the seatrout average about ¾lb.
All fishing methods are allowed on most fisheries, except natural shrimp. Popular fishing baits are Syucki Spoon, Swinford spoon, Devons and the flying 'C'. Most fisheries have stretches suitable for fly fishing.
Sea-trout fishing is confined to the estuary, where it can be very good from April to September.
