Liam Curran and Adrian Rahill had their first pike trip of 2026 on a lake in the River Fergus system in Clare last Saturday. With water temperatures in the Fergus system stuck around the 9°C mark, they had no real expectations of fish, but 20 minutes into the trip, they hooked into the big female in the picture.
The fish took a bright perch imitation paddle tail. An additional five jack pike were caught and all fish were safely released by the duo, making for a very enjoyable day on the water.
