Bodo Funke of Angling Services Ireland reports on the pike fishing in the Boyle area…
22 October: Robert was back for some pike fly fishing with us last week! And that he did!!! Resulting in a new Pb for him, measuring 114cm/ 25lbs. Along with some other nice fish.
19 November: Jarno and Maurice were back for their annual pike fishing weekend with us. A new Pb once again for Jarno of 111cm and a double hook up were amongst the highlights.
13 November: Our regular guest, Austrian fly angler Gerald was back recently for his autumn pike fly trip. And what a week he had. Storm Amy was approaching and rapidly rising water levels and gale force winds put a few obstacles in our way (literally!!!) But surprisingly the pike were on the feed that week and big fish kept on coming.
Gerald was able to finish his week with 12 pike over the meter, 7 of which over 20lbs: 2x20lbs, 2x22lbs, 24lbs, 24.5lbs, 25.1lbs. The biggest fish came last with 113cm/ 25.1lbs.
What’s best? Every fish was landed on fly with barbless single hooks Well done and thank you for fishing barbless!
See you next year…
Go fishing…
