October usually ranks as one of the best months of the season amongst pike anglers. Austrian fly angler Gerald Schimetta who was fishing in the midlands and guided by Angling Services Ireland would probably agree…
But read Bodo Funke’s full report below…
Gerald has been a regular guest at Angling Services Ireland Fishing Lodge since 2018, with many successful trips with us since then. But this year topped all previous results. He managed to catch 49 pike from 5 different waters for his fishing week. Nine fish measured over the meter!
Top fish were 111,108,108,103,103,101,101,100, 100!
Over 35 fish measured over 80cm and of that 24 over 90cm!
The best part is that all fish were caught on the fly, which in Geralds case always means single barbless hooks!!! Not a single fish was harmed or injured and all fish went back without difficulty.
Thank you Gerald for always fishing barbless and meticulously crushing the barbs on all your flies before use. Future generations of big pike will also be thankful, I’m sure.
