| Hidden away between the mountains of Connemara and the Atlantic ocean, the Kylemore Abbey fishery is a wild and beautiful place.The open panoramas of the lakes contrast with the intimacy of the river to give a variety of fishing combined with stunning scenery unrivalled anywhere in Ireland.
Salmon and seatrout run for a good proportion of the year to provide first class fishing on uncrowded waters.Although offering an excellent chance of a fish for most of the season, you will find the real meaning of "a fish is a bonus" at Kylemore.
Kylemore Abbey Fishery consists of the Kylemore,Middle and Castle lakes,with five and a half miles of the Dawros river which enters the sea in Ballynakill bay. Our map page will show you exactly where we are, and do take a look at our new photo gallery page.
The fishery has been in the care of the Benedictine sisters since they came to Kylemore Abbey in 1922, and has recently been under a programme of refurbishment.
Access to all the beats has been improved new boats and engines have been bought, new pools and walkways have been constructed and we now have a new fishery office.

The "tame" brown trout which lived under the Abbey bridge was caught this season and is now a feature of the fishery office.
As of 1st January 2007 it is against the law to use drifnets to catch salmon in Ireland. This law will continue to give increasing benefits in 2008.
Bookings for this season can be made from our bookings page.
Why not try for a spring fish like this 12 lb beauty? Try using a big bright tube fly in high water.
