Angling guide Johannes Bulfin of Watershed Fly Fishing made the most of some added-time angling this week, to land a super PB pike. His guiding day normally finishes at 5pm, but he decided to extend it to fish a few new areas on Lough Derg and see what they might throw up. And it was a decision that paid dividends, as he managed to boat this super 29lb, 115cm pike, putting an extra wide smile on his face!

Notes
Watershed Fly Fishing is owned and operated by Johannes Bulfin who grew up fishing the waters he now guides on.
As a child the pike, that would often be as long as I was tall, would fill me with awe. Pursuing these monsters, as well as the aesthetically beautiful native Brown Trout, became an obsession that never waned.
I have lived in Finland for over eight years which gave me invaluable insights into pike fly fishing, the Nordics are traditionally known for their innovation and pushing boundaries. Various techniques and flies have been born there. Perch fly fishing is a prime recent example of this. I have also fished in England, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, across the US, South Africa and Kenya.
