pike fishing in clare

kildare lad

I'm going down to clare for the weekend and i wanna take my uncle out pike fishing. Hes an avid sea angler and has never caught one before. Ive got the name of a few lakes but id rather if someone had some up to date info on the lakes, or could ya put us on to a place where we'd have a good chance of getting one, as i dont want to be stuck wit the grumpy old bugger on a dead lake!! if someone can pm me some info as i know with the current situation that naming spots online is not a good idea, thanks you!!

Hire a boat and go out on Lough Derg. You're almost certain to catch one there fast enough, some massive ones too.

Myself and a friend hired a guile for a day on derg, 1 fish caught by the skip all day and charged full price! I'll never hire a guile for any lake ever again based on that experience alone! I can blank by myself for a lot cheaper!!

don't let that experience put you off getting a gillie. If the gillie himself only caught one fish, then the going must have been tough. Even if you didn't catch anything, did you learn any new techniques?

Michael Cleary has a B&B in Corafin. He is ex fisheries board and he has boats to hire on local lakes. I think most of his clients are pikers. I am sure that he will look after you.
