Fishing at Longueville House

The fishing season opens at Longueville House on 01st February and it closes on 30th September annually.
Longueville House is approx. 50 miles from the sea. In recent years we have had some good runs of spring salmon during the month of April and the beginning of May.
The type of fishing allowed on our stretch of river is fly only or artificial bait such as Toby’s, Flying © or Devons.
For fly-fishing, a double-handed rod is best. Fly sizes, 4,6 & 8 are best suited here. The best flies to use are Shrimp, Garry Dog, Cascade, Willie Gun and Thunder & Lightning.
For spring fishing the best lines are a full sinking or a sink tip.
For summer salmon or grilse fishing we normally get a good run of fish in June & July, depending on the volume of rain. We recommend using smaller baits & flies, in sizes 10 & 12. Light tackle & a floating line are for better sport during the summer fishing.
During the month of September we also get a good run of autumn fish. We also have a very good stock of wild brown trout, which can be very good, particularly, if the salmon is not.
All fishing tackle and Ghillie can be supplied & arranged if required when given a little notice.
