September Update


It's been a while since posting here last, our blog admin has gone a bit slack alright- Apologies! Nevertheless we have been out on the water and some fine fish have been caught in the last while. Here is some of the most recent catches:
Last week our own young Danny caught this fine 108cm pike. And yesterday while guiding a group of Swiss anglers, a beautiful 63cm/7lbs. brown trout showed up.

June update- Big Pike for father and son

Last week saw the arrival of two groups of anglers here in Boyle, first up were 4 happy anglers from Germany that started of the week with two very difficult days, after torrential downpours of rain, the pike seemed to be put off feeding for a while. But eventually the anglers persistance paid off and fish up to 110cm were landed by them. They also had 5 pike over 90cm and several smaller ones. We hope to have some of the fotos available soon...

On wednesday regular visitors Marco P. and Marco A.from Italy, this time accompanied by Marco P.s twelve year old son Eduardo, landed on the brilliant new Milano to Knock flight. After we picked them up at the airport it was only a matter of an hour or two before they were out on the water casting lures at pike.
The first day saw a few fish to nine pound being caught, but it was on the second day that the young angler struck into a Big Fish, he managed to play the pike really well and before too long we netted the beauty. Measuring 98cms the pike weighed exactly 20lbs. this was naturally a great new personal best for the boy. The next day it was his fathers turn to get a good fish, when he got a good double figure pike measuring 96 cms pike. Meanwhile their friend Marco was also catching pike up to 17lbs. on jerk baits.
The last day ended with a lot of small fish with no big ones showing up but at least everybody caught fish on that day too. Here is the photo of Edoardos great catch:
