Many Thanks [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 11:03:41

Just back from two days fishing your fishery. Having fished several other fisheries in Ireland I can honestly say yours is without doubt the most outstanding venue. The maintenance of the fishery is second to none. Your shop is very well equipped and your willingness to ensure both my son and I had a great time was much appreciated. At €10 for a days fishing it cannot be beaten for value. Also the quality of the fish(I caught several tench and carp to 7.5 lbs) was an indication as to how well you look after them. I will be back again in a couple of weeks and I plan to be a frequent visitor.

Once again many many thanks

Rodney from Dublin.

Just a quick email to say how much we enjoyed the fishing at Lakeland. The fishery was excellent, very well organised and superbly laid out. the Carp and Tench were magnificent sport. Many thanks Derek and hope to see you again. Alan Keown and Paul McCormick

Great Day [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 10:42:49

Hi Derek,

I fished the match lake on Thursday 24th July, i was practicing for a forthcoming match so i fished for exactly 5 hours.

What a day i had, i caught 30 carp, 12 of which were between 5 & 7lbs, the remainder ranged between 1 1/2 & 4lbs, this was backed up by 18 hybrids ranging between 1 1/4 & 2 1/2 lbs.

Id have to admit since i started pole fishing some 6 years ago this was easily my best catch to date.

cheers,

Keith Trimble - Armagh

Good Bye Carp(Innyangler.net [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 14:04:19

I have a confession to make; Against all my will I gave in to fishing a Commercial Pond, at "Roosky" "Lakeland Fishery" only to find it proved to be one of the best days of this season.

On arriving at this venue I was very much impressed with what I saw, in the rear of a built up area and to the rear of a large house was the ponds along with toilets, a shop and well maintained banks to all the ponds. There are rules and a price to this venue but it reflects on the quality of the fishing and the fish. I and Chris, even Scully was aloud to partake in this first off adventure, results were Tench, Bream, Roach, Rudd and Carp all caught on Worms or Maggots,

I managed to hook into large Carp only to find that the Carp had other things installed for me, not just coming to the net like a good Carp; it charged off to the left did 2 laps of the pond and decided to find the aerator in the middle and was set on anchoring my tackle to the said item, which he did! Good Bye Carp.

Plenty of wildlife up here as well with some young moorhens passing under the rod tip:

For any visiting anglers this place is a must for a few days or even a longer stay, Derek is yer man and the web site is:

Hi Derek

Robert Murphy here from dublin myself and my nephew jonathan had the pleasure of fishing on the main kake last week as there was a competition on we were pleasure fishing. I would like to thank you for a cracking day. The big carp on the lake were getting the better of my nephew as they cruised around near the surface, some big ones just nudged the float. I was happy with 2 lovely common carp and jonathans 3 hybrids. Hope to see you soon, please find pictures enclosed

ps. thanks again

Derek

I am taking this opportunity to thank you for giving us the pleasure of fishing your “Lakeland” complex during the latter half of September.

We as a group have been visiting Ireland for many years to take advantage of the natural waters that abound. We were particularly delighted to find your fishery and intend to return next year.

I have enclosed a copy of our newsletter which will be circulated this month to all our members and I have also posted your address etc in the local tackle shops.

Yours sincerely

I caught lots of Carp and Tench, there must be some animals in the Match Lake as I got smashed up three times.

See you soon and thanks again for your help.

Immaculate [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 14:07:53

What a fishery! Carp, tench, bream, hybrids, you name it - I had them all and plenty of them. I wish that we had a fishery like this in England, apart from the excellent fishing the grounds are immaculate, not even a cigarette end. Well done Derek, you are a hard act to follow!

THANKS [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 13:15:30

Hello Del - Just a quickie to say thanks for your advice and help when we were across last week. I would not have believed that there was such great tench fishing in Ireland - for me the best I have ever had. I will ring you before I book the ferry next year and perhaps you can organise accomodation for us in the village. Thanks again and don't forget to give us a bell if you are coming to Staffordshire.

Great Day [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 13:15:33

Heard about Lakeland Fishery the day before I was due to leave Cavan to return to U.K. What a shame I did not know sooner! Carp from 6 to 22lb - a mixture of commons and mirrors and one ghost - all in immaculate condition.

Heaven [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 12:47:05

Derek - You may not remember me but I came with my husband, Peter, two weeks ago. Now that I am back in the U.K. and have rejoined the rat race, my mind keeps returning to the wonderful time Peter and I had when we spent a few days at Lakeland Fishery. I have never had such a relaxing holiday, for me the peace and tranquility of the place was amazing, the only noise was the splash in the water as the wild birds landed and of course as Peter landed yet another carp or tench or some other specimen.

The facilities at the fishery are first class and you really keep the place spotless. For me it was great that the fishery is just a few minutes walk from the village as I don't drive. If any ladies read this I can highly recommend a trip to Lakeland Fishery.

We will certainly be visiting you next year and Peter is having a chat with his club about holding a match on Lakeland around Easter next.

Thanks again for your hospitality.

first class fishery [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 13:03:16

Hi Derek

Finaly got round to sending you this email.Sorry it took so long.

I caught loads of small carp and tench to 5lb on the bottom lake on my first day despite the temp. being 30c+.I fished the same swim the next morning before deciding to target a few bigger fish on the top lake.The rest of the day produced much the same with some small carp, tench and a few good hybrids.I also hooked two fish that i just couldnt stop,the one that got away.On my third and last day I landed a common approx 7-8lb then a few hours later a P.B mirror approx 14lb.Thanks for the tips and hospitality Derek and I,ll see you again soon.cheers

Excellent Weekends Fishing [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 13:04:58

Hi Derek,

Just want to thank you and Eunan for a fantastic weekends fishing. We made the right decision going to Roosky, and catching over 200kg of carp and Tench over a 3 Day period. The best fish was Marks nearly 14 pounder that took 1 hour 40 mins to land....ON THE POLE. Thanks for sharing your hints and tips with us, that will be invaluable to us through our fishing careers.

Two hours later [General] - admin - derek@lakelandfishery.com @ 17:09:53

Had an amazing time yesterday evening, hooked into a carp just after 5 and didn't get it onto the bank until after 7. The thing was a monster but my darn old done scales would only register 10lb and there was no way it was that weight. Next time I'm bringing some proper scales :)
