Kevin Lyons of Melview Fishing Lodge reports…
Anglers Mariano, Antonello and Luca from Italy were over here for another pike fishing trip but this time decided to stay with host and guide Kevin at Melview Fishing Lodge. These guys could not have chosen a worse week weather wise for their fishing trip. These guys have been to Ireland before and know what the weather here can be like but made the comment that this had been the worst weather they have had to deal with, but this did not put them off of the task in hand and that was to catch pike.
The first day they were just able to use a boat safely but the days that followed it was deemed unsafe to fish using a boat, and the high winds and rain did not stop them from fishing various places from the banks in horrendous conditions at times but they were still able to produce a few good pike and fished like true professionals. These guys know the true meaning of the word fishing and I enjoyed their company during their week’s stay. Thanks guys for your company and a few laughs along the way…we hope to see you in Ireland again soon.
