Description:
The River Easkey is primarily a salmon river and enjoys a run of grilse and summer salmon. The best of the fishing is between June and September, given suitable water conditions.
The Fortland Fishery near Easkey village is private and offers over 6km of exclusive fishing set in the woodlands of the Fortland Estate. This stretch has over twenty pools and is limited to 12 anglers per day.
Access and passage alongside the river has been made much easier and safer due to the installation of hand railed stiles and footbridges as well as bankside pruning.
