IFI to reopen Moy and Galway salmon fisheries

Inland Fisheries Ireland is re-opening the Moy Fishery in Co. Mayo, and the Galway Fishery in Galway city, from today.

Both fisheries were closed to angling 10 days ago due to elevated water temperatures.

The Galway Fishery opened to angling at 2pm today, and the Moy Fishery will open for angling from tomorrow morning, 20th June.

Management at both fisheries will be contacting all anglers who have confirmed bookings over the coming days.

Those anglers who have had fishing cancelled due to the elevated temperatures will be refunded in due course.

The Moy Fishery can be contacted on 096 21332 or emailed via moyfishery@fisheriesireland.ie

The Galway Fishery can be contacted on 091 562388 or emailed via matt.varley@fisheriesireland.ie

IFI may be required to close both fisheries and other state-owned fisheries if water temperatures rise to levels considered unsafe over the summer months.
