Here at Blackwater Valley Fishery, we provide visitors with a peaceful location in one of the most scenic areas along the Blackwater River.
Our fishery covers extensive areas throughout Counties Cork and Waterford.
We offer a complete service to all those who enjoy fishing, catering for all your needs and ensuring you can enjoy our amenities safely.
Should you require it, we have a fully qualified guide and casting instructor, Damien O’Brien, available to accompany you while on our fishery.
We operate primarily on beats covering both the mid and lower reaches of the River Blackwater.
In addition to our own beats, which are privately owned, we also partner with a number of nearby fisheries along the River Blackwater allowing us to offer our clients better access and variety to the river according to their fishing preferences.
Additionally, the fishery is part of an officially designated Special Area of Conservation.
As such, we carefully control and monitor the number of rods on each beat and ensure that fish stocks are preserved at all times helping us both to maximise the enjoyment of our anglers and make sure the business remains eco-friendly.
