Monster Carp
George Speirs with a 28.lb 12.oz Carp
Perseverance paid off for angler George Speirs. Having to clear ice from an area of the Carp lake his efforts were handsomely rewarded with a 28.lb 12oz specimen Carp. Only 1.lb 1.oz under the Irish record it will not be long before the top weight ends up in Kildare.

Stunning Rainbows
Gar Foley with his 23.lb 8.oz Lyreen Angling Centre Record Rainbow Trout
Mick Walsh and Darren Whelan proprietors of The Lyreen Angling Centre, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, have to be congratulated for their progressive approach since taking over the fishery. Coarse, Carp, and Game anglers are catered for and recent catches show that the cream always rises to the top. A number of large Rainbow Trout have been landed lately topped by Gar Foley’s 23.lb 8.oz lunker, which now holds the Lyreen record. Falling to a Cat’s Whisker Gar has definitely laid down a marker.
Warren Hogan with a 21.lb 10.oz Lyreen Rainbow
Not to be outdone regular visitor Warren Hogan ran Gar’s record mighty close with a 21.lb 10.oz fish which fell to a Green Buzzer imitation. With the Rye Water and the river Lyreen offering wild Brown Trout fishing, both due to open on the first of March 2010 and accessible from the centre, a feast of game fishing awaits the visiting angler.

Peadar Lures the Pike

Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan based angling guide Peadar O’Brien spent the winter in Australia visiting family. On hearing of his departure the local Pike population breathed a sigh of relief. But after tiring of catching large Barramundi down under Peadar is back with a mission to make up for lost time.
With the frosty weather lately creating ideal conditions Peadar has been guiding a number of clients to some superb Pike angling.

One such client was Dubliner Donal Creamer who accompanied Peadar last Friday 12/03/2010 to a lake close to Shercock, Co. Cavan. Using lures and float drifted dead baits Donal landed Pike to twenty pounds+ in what was an enjoyable and productive session.
