Gerry Malone and his son Tom from Dublin had a day’s piking with Mal Mcleod of Gate Lodge Angling. They stayed with Geraldine at the lodge on Friday and fished with Mal on one of the local lakes on Saturday with a 9 am start. The weather was inclement to say the least with heavy showers and blustery north winds.
