Pike Angling Update

dated Wednesday January 6th, 2010

Photo: Joe Donnelly with his specimen pike 20.152lbs on the Shannon at Shannonbridge on April 30th, fish was caught on a large Roach dead-bait fished on the bottom. The fish features in the ISFC report 2009.

SHANNON REGION FEATURES REMARKABLY WELL IN THE ISFC 2009 PIKE AWARDS

We welcome you back to angling in 2010 and hope you have a successful year. We open the new season with a big freeze which has gone on since before Christmas and hence little to report. The Irish Specimen Fish Committee has published their 2009 report since our last update. We report that the Shannon Region did remarkably well in the specimen Pike awards. Lough Key produced the only Lake caught Pike at 13.81kg, which measured 46.8cm.  22 River caught Pike were verified by the committee in 2009, 19 of these were caught on the River Shannon, River Suck and River Inny, all of these waters in the Shannon Region. Back to the present, well very little going on with treacherous conditions for driving and bitterly cold  temperatures not enticing Pike anglers to get out and about over the opening few days of the season. This cold snap is forecast to continue to the weekend at least. TIGHT LINES FOR 2010.

We would like to wish you all a very happy new year and lots of good fish for the season of 2010!
Unfortunately we haven't been out yet, due to ice on most venues. Hope to get out there soon and get the first pike of the year. We will keep you updated here.

GLORY DAYS ON THE WAY BACK ON LOUGH GLORE

Yes I ventured out to Tullaghan Angling centre last week, and met with some of the Lough Glore Anglers. It's certainly full steam ahead for the coming 2010 angling season and the anglers are straight into action on January 2nd with a pike competition. The club will hold a committee meeting on January 10th, and those elected are expected to attend. Plans are underway to make access to Glore easier for boats, and Dermot Broughan of the ShRFB stated that he and his fellow Fishery officers will meet with the club members and help out in whatever way they can on the problem with access, and weed control on the Glore River. Also this week Lough Owel Anglers finished with their fly tying classes, once again it was a successful few weeks, and some deadly flies are flying around at the moment. The water levels are settling a little as we speak, and I have seen a drop on the Brosna River this week. I took a trip across to Aishling Coarse and Game Angling Centre in Edenderry and crossed quite a few rivers on my travels, plus the Grand Canal. They are quite fishable and are worth checking out. While in Aishling I met some of the Daingan Coarse Angling Club members as they fished a match in bitter cold conditions. The trout lake is producing cracking trout, and in my short time I hooked and landed 5 hard fighting fish. Mind you the water temperature was freezing, and my hands went numb as I released the fish. Next Sunday North Longford Anglers will hold an open boat pike competition; hopefully the water on Gowna will drop a little for this Christmas cracker.
