Dutch Anglers do well at Melview Fishing Lodge, including a Personal Best
Dutch anglers Patrick and Ruben were looking forward to their trip to Ireland this year after having to cancel last year due to the travel restrictions. Both guys have stayed with host Kevin Lyons of Melview Lodge before, so they know the waters well. Their last visit saw them have some cracking Pike and Patrick managed his personal best of 107 cm that trip, so this trip he and Ruben were in search of a 107 +.
The week started with most of their Pike in 96, 97 and 98 bracket, then the Pike started to hit the 1m and up to 104cm. The last day had come and it was a case of it’s today or wait for the next visit. They were around four hours into their session using various dead baits and Patrick got into a good fish and was praying for something over the 107cm. They landed the Pike safely and measured in at 110cm, so celebrations all round.
Patrick said that on his next visit to Melview Fishing Lodge next year he wants to beat this new PB, no pressure then for host Kevin. Well done guys and thanks for your company and I’m looking forward to seeing you back next year.
ALL FISH RETURNED UNHARMED.
