Kevin Lyons reports from  Melview Fishing Lodge :

Phil Rogers, Tony Clawson and Les Humphreys from the UK where here once again for their annual fishing trip to Ireland and Melview Lodge, They fished two venues during their trip using a feeder approach. Prebaiting each evening produced some good fish for them, venue one produced lots of Hybrids and big Roach along with a few Bream. However venue two produced some fine catches of Bream to 252lb in one session between them, and the total for their six days was 750lb which was not bad considering some of easterly winds they had while fishing. Feeder fishing between 35 and 50 yards into depths ranging from 12 to 28 feet produced well for them, all in all a good week for them and we hope to see them again next year. Well done Lads.

Nigel Barnes from Preston who has been coming over to Melview Lodge now for some 10 years decided his would start on one of the places he knows very well that in the past have produced some good Bream and Tench, however this time it produced plenty of Roach along with a couple of Tench. This seemed to go on for a few days until he decided to finish his holiday with a few days fishing on the River Shannon, using the feeder approach he managed some cracking Hybrids and big Roach. Kevin said if had not been for the Pike problems he would have had a shed full, well done mate.

All fish returned unharmed.
