Yes the Wild brown Trout season is up and running on some of the Western Lakes. It opened on February 15th and we have a few pics from Mask and Corrib. Conn also produced a few nice Trout, and I boated my first Brownie of the season on Conn. Mind you I was “Whistling” a [...]

Another action packed week in the Angling World. Earlier in the week I sorted out my fly box, and wet a line hooking up with some nice rainbow trout. I chanced a few underwater pics, but the water is very cold. On the pike scene Alex Nickleson banked a fine double on a recent trip. [...]

Yes this weekend the 2012 Ireland Angling Show will cast off in the National Show Centre, Swords Co Dublin. It’s going to be a terrific weekend, and you can pick up a few early season bargains on Tackle and Clothing. If February 11th & 12th doesn’t fit into to calendar of events, not to worry [...]

It’s all about pike this week and we had another eventful week here in the Angling World. Earlier last week the weather got mild, and some super pike came on the feed. I teamed up with Mullingar pike angler Barry Darby and we had a few cracking doubles trolling colourful lures. It changed for the [...]

No I am not going to tell you a few fishy jokes, but last weekend I took a cracking picture of English Angler Marty Smith, Scottish Angler Alex Nickelson, and Irish Angler, Ger Bradley having lunch while out pike fishing. It was certainly a tough weekend for angling, and the wind kept anglers fishing small [...]

Well, eventually the high winds settled, and anglers could venture out on our lakes and rivers. Mind you this week more talking was done about fishing, as the Irish Angling Development Alliance hosted their A.G.M. in Mullingar Park Hotel. Delegates from many of their affiliated clubs attended and it was a very productive meeting. Also this [...]

Well it’s back to business this week, and I hope you had a very enjoyable Christmas. It was hard going this week in very cold and windy conditions trying to get a few pike. Still we managed 5 fish on Ennell, Tuesday of this week, and Glore anglers produced 3 fish on Wednesday December 28th [...]

Well here we are and another year has passed in the Angling World. It was a savage cold week on the Lakes and Rivers, and I broke Ice for the first time this year to venture out. Mind you it was certainly worth the effort as we boated some huge pike, and beautiful perch. I [...]
