Blackwater

 

The Blackwater has a justifiable reputation for being one the best salmon fishing rivers in Ireland and one of the top in Europe with catch statistics of 6000 - 8000 rod caught salmon per year. The river has fish running throughout the year with spingers in the 8 to 20lb range coming in from February to April, grilse arriving from April to July, the early fish being bigger, in the 5 to 7lb range, while later fish are in the 2 to 4lb range. Summer fish arrive over a 3 week period late May into June and are in the 10 to 15lb range. By far the biggest runs arrive in the back end of the season, through August to September, with as much as half of the seasons total catch being landed at this time.
