Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports:

Steve Bates and Bill Gutheridge, members of the English Lure Angling Society (L.A.S.), visited the Foxford area for two days pike fishing and were guided by Kenny Sloan on a number of different waters. It was their first to North Mayo and definitely won’t be their last!
The two lure angers accounted for a total of 25 pike, the biggest, a great fish of 22 lbs. falling to Bill. Steve had fish to around 16 lbs. More members of L.A.S. have already booked for October when they hope to beat their personal best in the lakes around Foxford.
