  River Moy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Moy ( Abhainn na Muaidhe in Irish) rises in the Ox Mountains in County Sligo in the northwest of Ireland.
For the greater part of its length the Moy flows southwestward, entering County Mayo and passing not far from Swinford before turning north near the village of Kilmore and heading for the historic town of Ballina, where it empties into Killala Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
The river is noted as one of the best salmon fisheries in Europe, and the beautiful Moy valley, with its ancient churches and abbeys, is a prominent tourist destination.

 Mount Falcon
It’s proximity to the tidal waters of the Moy ensures a constant flow of fresh fish (Salmon and Grilse) throughout the season, but is most effective from the end of April to September.
By definition, given it’s location, approximately 85% of the fish that run the Moy system (which is estimated to be between 50,000 to 60,000) must pass through the Mount Falcon Fishery, hence the constant flow of fresh fish.
The prospects for the Moy are positive, as it is, the 2004 season alone provided 800 salmon and grilse to the rod at Mount Falcon for 255 rod days.
