At the very heart of one of the world’s most popular and challenging distractions – the art of fly fishing for salmon, sea and brown trout;

Golden Bay is comfortable, refined family accomodation beside all the major fisheries in the West of Ireland.

Golden Bay Fishings is a comfortable fishing lodge sheltering in the lee of the Maumturk Mountains at the toe of Ireland’s Joyce country. The mighty Lough Corrib is a 5 minute walk down the avenue – literally! 

The lodge is over 5000 square feet, within which there are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, inc 1 ensuite and a dressing room on offer. Also , 6 acres of wild woodland gardens are available– as one would expect the house is supplied with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge & freezer ,tumble drier etc. Apart from the open fire, there is under floor heating and an AGA for cooking. 

A full guided or ghillied service is available along with tuition for new entrants to the sport.  For those not fishing there is magnificent mountain scenery to enjoy, powder white sand beaches to visit along with excursions to Galway city. There are also a number of art galleries worth visiting in the county.

In near by villages there are very good fish dealers providing a broad range of fresh sea and shell fish as well as food emporiums and butchers. If you wish to go out to a restaurant there is a recommended list of special places to try in the house. 

Additionally we have provided two sets of golf clubs for those who want a day off fishing!
