Kevin Lyons of Melview Lodge reports on some cracking pike in great numbers caught by his guests:

David Rousseau from Belgium along with friends Pierre, Claude, Freddy and father and son Marcel and Fredric enjoyed a great weeks fishing at Melview Fishing Lodge in Longford. Fishing three or four various venues they were able to catch some great Pike ( 127 in total ).

Kevin said at times the bright sunny still weather was too good for them making things a little slow at certain times of the day. But the guys fished on and had to worked that little bit harder for the results, but it paid off for them in the end landing some lovely Pike. They Fished mainly with jurk bait lures and David even managed a couple of good ones on dead baits.

Kevin said I had the pleasure of fishing / guiding the guys on two separate occasions and what a great two days fishing and company it was for me also. Thanks guys and we hope to see you again in the future, Kevin.

All fish returned unharmed.
