Stu caught 8 pike of which 3 made his top 3 – the biggest was 102cm

27 August: Stu, my guest on today’s guided fishing trip on Lough Allua , was delighted with a total catch of 8 pike. He managed to beat his PB 3 times today , the biggest fish, caught on a rubber shad, measured 102cm. The weather today included lashing rain and gusty winds but the pike certainly didn’t mind.

97cm pike
Novice anglers Jean and Logan had 8 pike to 97 cm

30 August: Logan and Jean brought 8 pike to the boat and many more were lost. The biggest pike measured 97 cm , barely missing the meter mark, while another few measured between 80 and 90 cm. Jean and Logan never caught pike before , so they really enjoyed a lively fishing day on Lough Allua.
