70 pike fishermen turned out from all over Ireland to watch a slideshow given by Neville Fickling at Dobbens St Community Centre, Armagh. A frosty January evening made the turnout all the more remarkable but if you take your pike fishing seriously it is an evening you wouldn’t want to miss.
Neville started his three hour talk and slideshow at 7.30 and he concentrated on his Irish fishing adventures showing us some extremely large pike he had caught over the last 4 decades. Neville held the UK record pike for a number of years in the 80’s with a fish caught from the Norfolk broads which weighed in at 41lbs 6oz. He showed us some pike that we all dream of catching and his best Irish fish which weighed in at over 38lbs.
During his lively talk he passed on some great tips of where to locate the huge fish and if you listened carefully you came away full of hope and inspiration for your next foray along the river banks. PAC region 111 would like to thank Armagh City & District Council Sports Development Department for supporting the event through providing the venue.
