Loungueville House

The Longueville House fishery extends for over two miles on the Munster Blackwater, one of Ireland’s finest salmon rivers.  It is located four miles west of Mallow on the N72.  The river gets a run of spring salmon in February/March; grilse in July and autumn fish in August and September.  The river also holds an excellent stock of brown trout and has prolific seasonal fly hatches.  The house also has access to a number of other beats on the river.

In cold spring weather and high water, spinning is the most popular method.  Later, fly fishing with a 14’ or 15’ rod comes into its own, and an intermediate or sinking tip line is the preferred option except in low water.  In summer, brown trout fishing with a 9’, 5 wt. rod and line can be very rewarding.

Wading is the accepted practice for fishing the river.  There is fishing tackle for hire and experienced guides who have extensive knowledge of the river.  They should be booked in advance.
