Our spring fishing season has well and truly started with the arrival of the first few groups, and over the past two weeks there were some fine pike caught by our guests. The best fish of last week and indeed of the season so far, caught by Dublin angler George on Saturday, was a fine pike of 105cm, weighing 25lbs.
Earlier in the week German anglers Uwe Pinnau and his friends from the German Pike Angling Club were out with me and they had pike up to low double figures. The week previously to that saw a father and son from Luxemburg catch a few nice pike while on a guided angling trip with us, again low double figure fish were the biggest on the day and provided good sport.
During the annual Easter Pike Angling Festival held by Boyle & District Angling Club on Lough Key, we sadly didn't rank in the prizes but nevertheless had a few nice fish in the boat, biggest 15lbs. 4oz and my son Danny managed a nice wild brown trout as a by-catch, which of course was released again.
Prospects are good for the coming weeks and we will update this again soon.
Tight Lines,
