Angling guide Kevin Lyons reports on the good fishing experienced by his international guests in the past week at Melview Lodge:

French anglers Philippe, Bruno, Julien and Bernard had a great six days fishing at Melview Fishing Lodge in Longford. These guys are no strangers to Melview Lodge and the surrounding waters as they have been before and have been looking forward to getting back to Ireland after restrictions were lifted. For these guys, it was all casting using various hard and soft lures in depths from 1.5 meters to 4 meters. They worked hard at it and did very well, given that the weather was changing most of the time, and some mornings started off very cold for them. It was a great week with very enjoyable company, so thanks guys and I look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Gert from Austria decided this time he would bring his wife and two children for a fishing break to Melview Fishing Lodge, Gert and his son Leo have been before so know what the fishing is all about. The two highlights of their trip were the amazing 107 cm Pike for 12-year-old Leo beating his previous best by 30cm, the second was a first-ever Pike in Ireland for 7-year-old Aurelia. Both were over the moon with their catches and had a great time out fishing with dad. It was a great weeks fishing and very enjoyable to see the kids having fun fishing. Thank you for your company and a lovely week.
