Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from the IFI Ballina office:
French anglers, Herve Rubat and Jean Michelle Domenjoud, who had already been successful fishing for salmon on the River Moy also tried their hands at some flyfishing for pike. Local angling guide, Kenny Sloan, took them to a number of lakes in the Foxford area where they had good numbers of pike. Herve, who had already caught his first ever salmon managed to get his first pike on fly. The pair finished the week with many more strong Mayo pike and are eager to return next season.

Scottish angling journalist and flyangler, Andy Bowman, visited the North Mayo area for a week and enjoyed some excellent floattube fishing for pike. Andy fished a number of small to medium sized waters in the Castlebar area catching many fine pike including a couple of 20 lbs. plus fish! Andy, who is an expert on flyfishing for pike, described floattubing the North Mayo waters as one of the best experiences he had in a long while.
