The Castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the river Blackwater, Ireland 's premier salmon fishing river. In addition to the stretch of river beside the Castle that guests have private access to, there are several miles of double bank fishing within easy reach of the Castle which produce an average of over four hundred and seventy salmon per year. Some of the beats include excellent fly fishing pools. Costs vary according to the season and the services of a ghillie (fishing coach) as well as hire of equipment can be arranged on behalf of guests who are keen anglers.

Deep-sea fishing trips can also be organized for guests. Ling, conger, and pollock are the main species with blue shark appearing from mid June onwards.
