Mount Falcon Country House Hotel

Over the years, both expert and novice anglers have caught their first fish of the season, or their first ever Salmon, in Mount Falcon waters.  Male or female, young or not so young, you are most welcome to join us in maintaining that tradition. To help, we can supply all your tackle and introduce you to waters to suit all abilities and tastes.  And we have ghillies on hand, to either illustrate new techniques, or offer advice on improving those you already have.

From fly fishing lessons to half and full day trips, Frank will tailor your experience to suit your ability and preferences. Suitable for total beginners and competent fishermen alike, the majority of fishing trips take place from traditional wooden boats on Lough Corrib, offering spectacular scenery and incredible views of Ashford Castle from the water. Opt for a full day experience and you will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on one of the islands and even the chance to cook your catch! More Information >
