    Hello lads,

    Just moved to Wexford, not overly familiar with the area, just wondering if any of you can recommend some good spots for trout fishing on the fly?

    I'm guessing the Slaney upstream of Enniscorthy perhaps.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for that, I had actually stumbled across that previously. I was looking for some local knowledge. You can't beat it.

    Hey Hat

    The slaney is the only river I know of in wex for trout fishing tbh but it is quite a good trout/salmon river.

    Although trout are small they are plentiful, and this month will see sea trout coming up river.

    Anywhere above enniscorthy to tullow really will see you good. Reports yearly of good sea trout at clohamon.

    Fishing myself at Aghade regularly and always hit 7 or 8 from 9 - 10/11pm

    Thanks for that Ardinn. I'll look into permits etc for some of those stretches. Any experience on Loch Mahon? More a fan of river fishing but I enjoy the occasional bash at the rainbows.

    Loch Mahon is ok, above average say.

    For trout I'm a river person myself but will go there a few times over the winter or with the kids.

    There is also a stockie place near Blackwater that is meant to be ok.

    Where bouts are you based. Plenty of swff around the wexford coast. Bass,codling,pollock ,mullet and mackerel all catchable on a fly rod...
