    Hi.

    I've fished Ballyhoe 1 before (pike to 6-7lb, 6lb tench), and plan to visit again next week. May also make the effort to try Ballyhoe 2, and maybe Rahan's while I'm in the area.

    Anyone got anything I should know? State of water, fishing well?

    Can't remember where I bought deadbait in the area last time - where's good nearby?

    Thanks for any info,

    Mark

    Crap. Stayed on BH1 for 3 days, had one missed run. Tried everything bar a boat, cos I don't have one.

    Returned a few weeks later for a 2 day stay, and caught one 7lb 7oz pike.

    Then spent two days on Ervey, a day on Ballyhoe 2, and a couple of hours on Derry. Nothing.

    Returned to Derry for a three day stay and caught one 5lb pike.

    Need a boat.
