Bodo Funke of Angling Services Ireland was guiding for pike on the fly this week. Please read his report below…
The day started with action straight away, but more missed takes and plucks than landed fish to begin with. Nevertheless, a few nice fish came to the boat and after trying several favourite drifts we went back to where I had marked some good fish on the Solix earlier. Three drifts later, Stuart hooked into a serious lady which gave some serious battle and turned out to be a new PB for Stuart with 110cm and 22lbs.90z.
Was an absolute pleasure to have Stuart and Stephen out today. Not often you get to guide the guide and even better when it’s Mr. Pikeontheflyguide aka Stuart Wylie himself. Great fun in the boat and some very skilful pike fly angling all around, with a cracking Top Fish at the end”
