Steve and Dennis from Manchester were over for a week’s coarse fishing with Melview Fishing lodge in Longford. Kevin Lyons reports…

The first venue the lads fished produced a lot of Roach and Hybrids and a few Bream for the first couple of days. In the end, due to Pike all over the swim, it was decided it was time to move. The water levels were still very high and some of the wind and rain made it very difficult at times, but we decided on a river venue and knew it needed a good old prebaiting. We arrive and marked things out and prebaited.

I have to take my hat off to these guys; standing and fishing in water levels just under their arm pits. It paid off for them with some good Bream, Hybrids and cracking Roach.
