The Tarsaghaunmore is a major tributary of the renowned Owenduff River system in County Mayo, Ireland, flowing through a landscape of wild moorland and mountain in one of the most remote and scenic corners of the Wild Atlantic Way. Together with the Owenduff, it drains an area of approximately 135 km² of unspoiled bogland and upland terrain into Tullaghan Bay, a few kilometres north of the village of Ballycroy. This is a genuinely wild fishery — the kind of river that rewards anglers who appreciate solitude, dramatic scenery, and the challenge of pursuing Atlantic salmon and sea trout in their natural environment. Fishing rights on the Tarsaghaunmore are privately owned, and access is managed through the network of private lodges that operate along the Owenduff system.

The upper reaches of the Tarsaghaunmore are particularly significant as primary spawning grounds for Atlantic salmon in the Owenduff system. These upper sections, characterized by the clean gravels and fast-flowing water typical of upland Mayo rivers, also offer productive fishing for fresh-run fish moving through. The river's pools and runs throughout its length provide classic lies for both salmon and sea trout.
