A round-up of the news from Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller:

Local angling guide, Kenny Sloan reported some more pike action from the Foxford area for two of his clients. US visitors Will Rinehart and Andrew Lindley from Indiana enjoyed some nice pike fishing. Since conditions were quite windy, little boat fishing took place and a range of different methods were tried including flyfishing, trolling and deadbaiting from the shore. Although the bigger fish were not feeding the two US anglers enjoyed their day on the water catching their first pike on the fly. In total they caught and safely released 5 pike up to 87cm. They hope to return next year to try their hands at some more pike and salmon fishing in Co. Mayo. 

Happy US visitors, Will Rinehart & Andrew Lindley, with one of their fly caught Mayo pike
