Baronscourt Estate - Wild Brown Trout and Sea Trout fishing, Northern Ireland

The Foyle River System   

The Foyle System comprises of approximately 900 miles of salmon, sea trout and brown trout water. It covers the North West region of the north of Ireland. It is also one of Ireland's most prolific grilse fisheries. The peak period is usually from the end of March to the end of Sept.

This beautiful part of N. Ireland is a fly anglers dream at a time when the habitat of the wild brown river trout is depleting all over Europe, and when some fly fishing for trout has an artificial character, N. Ireland offers the true essence of the sport - the pursuit of  Salmon, wild trout and Sea trout in natural waters.

The Pools

There is direct access to the estate water which comprises of four beats with a total of 20 named pools. The most renowned and famous pool is the Snaa it is similar in its appearance to "the Junction" on the River Tweed, the other pools such as "the haff water", and "Blackstone" are every bit as good, each beat offers exciting sport. This high quality fishery also enjoys excellent access to the river with two fishing huts and car parking, expert guiding is offered by members of the National angling guides programme.

 Two huts are situated above two of the pools and provide easy access, with car parking.
 

Time of Year

However prices increase from the 23^rd June to the 31^st of August due to the high demand for the excellent Salmon fishing and also limited exclusive accommodation on the estate.
