Proud dad Rory Gardner wrote to tell us about Noah, aged 9, who was delighted to catch his first pike from a small Lough in Co. Monaghan.

By all accounts Noah show real commitment and determination. He had to endure a couple of difficult days with no fish, but on day 3 he managed to tempt this lovely pike with a floated smelt. Well done Noah!
