A quiet day for pike anglers on Lough Derravaragh

By
IFI Staff
-

Few boats out on Derravaragh last Saturday, with only a handful of small pike once again being caught. It was lovely conditions, but the Derravaragh pike are proving hard to entice these last few weeks. Saying that the perch were also off the feed, and I only managed a few small fish on the main lake. The Roach Hole was even less productive as was the River Inny, which is very low for this time of year. Not to worry these venues will come good, and if you are in the right place at the right time, it will be magic fishing.
