There have been loads of exciting pike fishing reports from Lough Derg recently. Not even the bright sun of the last few days has put a stop to the exceptional catches. Pierre Monjarrate is seeing catches of as many as 5 fish over 1m on the better days and seems to be getting about 2 every day he is out. TJ’s anglers are also getting some fabulous looking fish – particularly his husband and wife anglers.

Pike have been taking the lures right by the boat for Paul Bourke and some pretty big big fish have turned up for his anglers too. The boys in Black Bay Angling have had some great pike on fly, proving that Lough Derg is by no means just a lure lake. While over on the Tipperary side Cedric Charpentier had some lovely meter beaters in the almost tropical conditions.
