We hired a rowing boat and rowed about half a mile to an island on Lough Derg. The reeds around most of the island were holding mainly Roach. No sign of any Pike. Alan caught two Roach on a fly. Later in the day we were rewarded with a sight of the nesting White-tailed Sea Eagle.

Fly-fishing for Roach.
