Mike Flanagan reports on a pike trip for American clients

California couple Mary and Allyn Degram were finishing up their 2 weeks holiday in Ireland, and contacted me about trying to catch their first Irish Pike. They drifted into town for a two-night stay before heading back to Dublin and flying home to California.

Thats a take. California couple Allyn and Mary with   super pike.

Allyn is a very keen shooter and angler so we really got on well, and I even brought him back down to Springfield to check out my working dogs.

Mike wishes they all could be Californian... Mary and her prizes catch.

We had a super day talking fishing and shooting, and got some magical pike to take the bait. I believe out photographs are catching on in Livermore, California as I E- mailed a few scenic shots from the Midlands. Allyn is retiring next year, and high on his list is a return visit to Ireland.
