French Pike anglers Philippe Arnassand, Stephane Richard, Emmanuel Gredin and Jupien Chalney decided on a week’s Pike fishing holiday to Melview Fishing Lodge to be guided by Kevin during their stay.

They used various baits in the way of dead Roach, shads, and hard lures, they all produced some cracking fish to 1m 3 and a 163 Pike in total along with a bonus Trout.

Stephane Richard caught this Pike using a small plug.

Kevin said the guys could not wait to get going, no sooner had I shown them their rooms they wanted to be shown were they could fish for a couple of hours and this proved worthwhile for them catching 14 Pike in their first few hour in Ireland.

Guiding them was a pleasure and a lot of fun at times and we hope to see them again next year, thanks guys see you next year.

As always, all fish are returned unharmed.
