The Yellow River at Foxford is a tributary of the River Moy system in County Mayo, Ireland, flowing into the Moy in the Foxford area. As part of the broader Moy catchment, this river carries a genetically distinct population of Atlantic salmon, making it a notable fishery within one of Ireland's most celebrated salmon river systems. The surrounding landscape is characteristic of the west of Ireland, with the river winding through agricultural countryside before joining the main Moy channel. The fishery in this area offers a mix of water types, from slower bait and spinning pools to lower-water stretches where fly fishing becomes productive, particularly around rocky features and bends in the river.
