Pike fishing -- new regsIt is a long time since I looked up the regulations but they certainly seem to have been tightened up over the past couple of years . This is an extract from the CFB site :Important notice! New angling bye laws! * CONSERVATION OF PIKE BYE-LAW NO. 809, 2006 The pike bye law provides for the following conservation measures: • a bag limit of 1 Pike in any one day, • prohibits the killing of any pike more than 50 cm in length, • prohibits the possession by any person of more than 1 whole pike less than 50 cm or more than 0.75 kgs of pike flesh, this provision does not apply to a person storing pike or pike parts subject to conditions, • prohibits the possession by any person of more than 12 coarse fish for use as bait subject to conditions. If I interpret that correctly then the largest pike you would be permitted to take would be in the region of 2 - 2 1/4 lbs . That is quite small . There also appear to be new restrictions relating to other coarse fish , salmon & trout , and Bass . http://www.cfb.ie/fishing_in_ireland/Angling%20Regulations.htm |
