Where a Fisherman's Heart Beats Faster


The Upper Caragh River is considered one of the best salmon rivers for its size in Ireland. Nestled among
the thousand meter peeks of Mcgillikuddy's Reeks it flows through one of Ireland's most beautiful nature
reserves in the heart of Kerry. The private lake and river system creates a magical world as it meanders
through highland moors and lonesome valleys.

The river and its lakes offer conditions uniquely suited to all types of fishing, particularly fly fishing. The
riverside paths and footbridges are perfectly kept; for the most part they are wheelchair accessible.

The main stretch of the Upper Caragh River is divided into seven beats which are fished in rotation. Each
angler is granted exclusive fishing rights to a new beat on a daily basis. This makes it possible to fish in
all seven beats in the space of one week.
