Method:

Permission:
Permit required to fish the managed fisheries. Contact IFI - Ballina for further details.
Description:
The system is most famed for its prolific grilse run, which normally enters the river between June and late August, with the peak run occurring in mid-July. In addition, the numbers of spring salmon appear to be on the increase, with better early season runs being noted by many fishery owners. The Moy also holds a population of resident brown trout and receives a run of sea trout from the productive feeding waters of Killala Bay. The river is unique in that angling access is controlled by the state and a number of private owners, angling clubs and associations. Anglers can fish the Moy by either joining a club or association, or by purchasing a daily or weekly permit. All angling methods are allowed though angling regulations vary between fisheries.
