Like a lot of pike angling clubs, the Leinster Pike Anglers struggled to find fishable water for the latest leg of their winter league. The recent rain meant that the rivers were all blown out and the lakes were all full to the brim, making access tricky to say the least.
So the only viable option was to don the chest waders and get up to their armpits in water, which is exactly what they did. They opted to fish a few lakes close to each other to give themselves a choice of venue on the day. Fishing was pretty good given the high water with the top two anglers managing 11 fish each, with Rodney Gaynor winning out with a weight of just over 31lb
