Just a quick reminder that "Discover Boyle Day" will be held in Boyle on Sunday.
Judging by the programme for the day it's set to be a fun day with lots of activities and free events in Boyle. We too, will be there with a stall in the grounds of King House.
Hope to see you there!

103cm on the fly!

Yes, finally as expected the bigger fish are starting to show. This morning we had fantastic sport fly-fishing for pike, which culminated in the capture of a 103 cm pike estimated to weigh around 20lbs. 10 smaller fish also readily came to the boat. Water temperature has dropped to 14-15 degrees C.

Good pike action

Apart from one or two bad days, the pike fishing has been great this last few weeks with catches of between 10 -20 pike per boat per day on some occasions. On top of that we also had some nice perch as a bonus catch.
The big pike should start showing up any time soon!!

Autumn Pike season started!

Finally we could wait no longer and have started this autumn season last weekend.

The first morning session brought 10 pike to the boat, biggest 92cm. All fish came to Buster jerks, we also had a lot of missed takes. Nice start of the autumn season and things are looking good. The rain of the last few days topped the system up nicely, let's just hope there won't be too much more for a while.
