    I tried fishing it at Athy last Sat. Pointless, water was too high and murky, full of sediment. Not good!

    Its dropped a good bit nearly back to normal levels just back from fishing, bit slow but got a pike on the worm which is a first for me!

    Interesting catch on worms never heard of it before , I can imagine you thinking it was a belter of a trout or salmon and then seeing a pike ha ha

    I actually though I got snagged in a tree branch and was dragging it back up the river I was reeling like mad I'd say the pike didn't know what was going on haha
