The 2013 Lough Ree Angling Festival & World Cup has been launched today.

The popular boat angling event is staged over three days – April 17-18-19 – on the largest lake in the midlands of Ireland and is renowned for its large pike. Last year there were 17 pike caught that measured more than one metre and the largest fish, which won €3,000 English angler Martyn Cusworth from Yorkshire, was 108.5cms.

180 anglers are expected to compete in the festival and the World Pike Cup for total prize fund of €21,000. It’s a great event with three traditional Irish presentation evenings and a terrific holiday and lots of fun.
