Easky is a small fishing village on the southern shore of County Sligo on Ireland's west coast, its very name translating from Irish as "fishes" — a fitting identity for a place where angling is woven into daily life. The area offers a remarkable dual fishing experience: the Easky River, a classic spate salmon river rising in the Ox Mountains and flowing 29 kilometres to the sea north of Easky village, and the rocky Atlantic coastline with its piers, headlands, and surf beaches. High in the Ox Mountains sits Easky Lough, a wild upland lake of over 40 hectares that feeds the river system below. Together, these waters provide salmon, sea trout, brown trout, and a variety of saltwater species within easy reach of one another — a combination that is genuinely rare even by Irish standards.
