Fishing
Cahir House Hotel is uniquely situated in one of Ireland’s most prestigious fly fishing locations. Close to many fishing hotspots from the Suir to the Nire and Blackwater rivers. We are happy to organise fly-fishing days and weekend packages with ghillies, licenses, permits etc.
The river Suir rises in the Devil’s Bit Mountain, travels south into Cahir. Its one of Europe’s most popular trout and salmon rivers and holds a heavy stock of fish. The best of the salmon stretch is nearby in Ardfinnan. The Suir river produced Ireland’s record rod-caught salmon. It weighed 57lbs!
