Angling guide and journalist Mick Flanagan reports on pike fishing in the midlands area near Mullingar.

PERSONAL BEST PIKE FOR GORDON.  Lough Derravaragh produced a personal best pike of 18 lb. for Justin Gordon last week as he enjoyed another day in the Midlands. Justin was joined by some angling pals from Dublin and they boated over 10 pike on their day trip, which is turning out a weekly occurrence for the lads.

Stan Ryan organizes the trips, and almost lost his I. phone last week, as they were in such a hurry to fish. The lads dropped into Hamils On the Run garage for some refreshments, and Stan left the phone in the Toilets. Thankfully it was handed in, and they rang me to collect it. A big thank you to the staff at Hamills for sorting this one out.
