Back for my regular Spring salmon fishing on the Erriff and it turned out to be the best in 10 years. We struck it lucky with the weather: the day we arrived the river was in big spate but it fell fast and fished well the next day, when my fishing comapanion had three fish. I followed with six fish... More

Whilst I have stayed in the lodge before, this time myself and my wife stayed in one of the recently re-built self catering cottages located at the inland end of the Killary. For those seeking a beautiful location in a quiet corner of Ireland this surely has to fit the bill perfectly. What's more, for the salmon fisher, the river... More

This was my fourteenth visit to Aasleagh Lodge, which says it all! The place is wonderful. The setting is beautiful and quiet, the rooms comfortable, well-appointed and spotless, with great bathrooms and power showers. The food - prepared by fishery manager Jim Stafford's wife Mary - is outstanding, especially if, like me, you are into sea food. In a week's... More

Jim Stafford, the fishery manager, and his wife Mary are... More
