A group of nine Visiting fly anglers from Jersey staying at Mount Falcon Castle arrived for a weeks fishing for Pike and Salmon fishing in the Ballina/Foxford area. The weather leading up to, and around the time of their visit had not been the best so the anglers had to contend with low water conditions, easterly breezes and sunshine. The group tried Deep seafishing, Estury Seatrout fishing, pike and salmon.
Three of the group Ross Bannerman, Stuart Perchard, and Clive Dunford fished mainly for pike on the fly. Around 12 pike were caught, but there were no big fish among them.
As there are no pike in Jersey and their first time pike fly fishing was such fun the group are planning a return trip next year to try there luck again.
Go fishing with Kenny…
Kenny Sloan has become synonymous with big pike in the Foxford area. Kenny can guide you on the big wild waters around him Conn and Cullen but he also has a lot of smaller waters at his disposal and even if the wind blows he always has some where to fish making your break as productive as possible.
