Blackwater Trout & Salmon Fishery is the new brand name for Ballyduff Bridge Salmon Fishery. It has been changed to more accurately describe its position as the largest salmon fishery on the entire river rather than merely geographically centred around Ballyduff Bridge beat.
The Fishery is a family run business hosted by Jason Corcoran – son of Connie Corcoran (alias ”Riverman”) who is the most famous guide on the Blackwater. Connie started guiding back in 1961, and no other living person has his knowledge of the river. Jason started guiding under his tutelage at the age of thirteen, absorbing all his Dad's years of experience. Between them they have almost a century of experience guiding & instructing on the Cork Blackwater river.
The fishery currently comprises of 10 beats in total spread over approximately 60km of the river - offering fishing suitable for all river conditions.
There are six beats on the lower river starting just 7km above the tidal limit,
and a further four beats on the upper river between 45 & 55km upstream from Ballyduff.
We are also the only fishery on the Blackwater to have a fully equipped tackle shop situated at the fishery head office overlooking the river.
In celebration of launching our new business name and website, we have reduced our prices by 25% for August and September - check out our price list here.
We look forward to seeing you on the fishery with us, and we hope that we can assist you on landing a fish or two. Iascaireacht shona agus maireachtáil shláintiúil (Happy fishing and healthy living)
Jason
