Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from the IFI Ballina office:

Pike fishing has been slow due to the warm weather and low water levels. However, fishing among reeds and lily beds still provided some good sport with surface lures or fishing the fly. Visiting anglers from Canada, John Duffy and his wife Alena, spent a day with local guide Kenny Sloan on some of the pike lakes in the Foxford area catching 5 pike with many lost on the surface.
