Kevin Lyons of Melview Fishing Lodge reports…

Regular pike anglers Thomas, Joop, Nick and first timer Benji from Holland were over once again for their annual week’s pike fishing holiday.

Kevin said, these guys have been a number of times now and know the waters well. With them it’s not only about the fishing but having fun while here in Ireland. The guys managed 131 Pike to 97 cm with some bigger pike lost at the boat.

Joop lost a big fish when the trace he was using gave way only to be caught again the following day by two anglers from Italy staying with Kevin and the trace and hooks were removed which was great and was returned happily to the water again. They used all different methods of fishing including some float fished dead baits. Well done guys and thanks for the company and good laughs we had and hope to see you again soon!#

Kevin has over 30 years experience of fishing in Ireland and is happy to offer a guided tour on your arrival, and to advise where the on-form waters in the area are. We can arrange your bait order so it’s here when you arrive. Melview offers free use of 17ft lake boats with engines to our guests (pay fuel only) and Kevin is happy to assist with any pre-baiting requests. Maps and other information regarding fishing are also available.
