It’s fantastic to see such good fishing on a stretch recently developed by IFI and proving that their hard work was put to good use. The hard work put in by Bill Cassidy and Andrew Ely on this stretch is very much appreciated by everyone their trojan efforts and much arguments with the relevant authorities to get this stretch developed will in the long run be very much worth it. Well done lads.
