Fishing For many years, North Mayo has been regarded a key destination for angling enthusiasts around the world who are attracted to the region’s phenomenal offering to those that wield the rod for sport. The region’s principal town of Ballina is officially designated Salmon Capital of Ireland, reflecting the quality of angling and fly-fishing available on its River Moy. Indeed much of North Mayo and West Sligo is drained by this river and its tributaries which comprise Ireland’s most prolific salmon waters. The area also boasts many bountiful lakes with great brown trout stocks. The Mayo North area also caters for the sea angler with top-class boat and shore fishing available and up to 34 species waiting to be hooked in its coastal waters.
Happy Fishing!
