fat man 4,741 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Myself and my mate were fishing on lene again today.We were trolling for trout or pike or anything that would take.Anyway as we came around one of the islands we noticed a chap landing what looked like a large fish,we could just see him net it as we were about 200yds away.We were looking across at him when he waved us over.We reeled in our own lines and went across to him.As we approached he thanked us for coming over and handed my mate a camera and asked would he take a few pics.My mate said no prob and then the chap proceeded to lift his net from the oppisite side of his boat to reveal a very big pike.My mate took the pics and the chap then weighed it and it was 27half lb,caught on the fly.He was an english bloke and told us that was his 4th pike over 20lb in 2 days on the fly in lough lene.He then asked us had we caught anything but my mate was too embarresed to show him so we just said not yet.The pike was released unharmed and we finished on 3 trout,6 jack pike and 1 perch.

fat man 4,741 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Was on lene today for a few hours,conditions were not great for fishing,too calm and too bright, but we still managed a couple of trout and had 8 jack pike 3 perch.The lake seems to be full with jack pike in the last couple of weeks for some reason,we were'nt catching them up until recently.

Jack pike are a pain in the hole,if folk let the big pike back there wouldn't be a problem with jacks. Quote Link to post

Ill have to give lene a try in the coming weeks.Can you send me a contact number for a boat hire? Hello Mustard, Fatman is more local to Lene than me so he might know of boat hire or try www.loughleneanglingassociation.com It's fishing well at the moment and for 15 euro a day ticket you can't go wrong. You'll get your ticket in the Daybreak shop in Collinstown. Mind you, some folk think 15 euro is a lot for a day out, LOL. Oh, and don't ask Fatman what's the best method. He'll probably tell you T.N.T. Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Have'nt used that in awhile neil too hard to get now,but i do like to fish after dark,lake all to myself lol. Quote Link to post
