Angling Guide and guesthouse owner Kevin Lyons reports on pike fishing for his clients in the past week on waters near his base at Melview Lodge in Co. Longford.

John Grace and Cormac Daly from Kilkenny decided on a day out with guide and guest house owner Kevin Lyons of Melview Lodge in Longford, Kevin said we were on the water just as it turned day light. Conditions were flat calm with not even a hint of a breeze, we first started with some lures where I knew some good fish had been caught and lost over the previous few weeks.

After a short time we decided that the flat calm conditions were not going to produce any fish for us so we decided on some dead baiting, and what a good decision that turned out to be. All three spots that we fished produced Pike to 15lb, and we won’t mention how many Pike we lost but it turned out to be a great days fishing.
