IRISH RECORD FISH LIST

[bill yards]

As far as I can piece together this is about as near to the Irish Record Fish List as I can get. Bear in mind that many anglers couldn''t give two crappity smack about claiming recordsand also some on the 'pending' list and some have been turned down.

Tench 8 lb 15 oz Ballyeighter Lake, Corofin, Clare

A few familiar venues there Bill. Used to fish the Blackwater a lot, and it was stuffed with Dace. Remember fishing a knock up once in Fermoy, and Dave Hickman was having a 12oz Dace every put in from no more than a rod length above where I was standing in the river. It was black with em :surprise :surprise.

The River Barrow at Craiguenemanagh was also one of our favourite haunts. There were some massive Bream shoals in there, as well as some quality Rudd
