Smile Goodbye O Corrib Pike

With regret the time has come to dip the hat to my beloved Corrib pike as I relocate back to the pacific and salt water adversaries...

Last two outings on L. Corrib produced 12 pike, with fish of 9 and 12 pounds... it was fitting my last hen of the fly clocked in at 16 pounds and a nice way to say farewell to a sublime sports fish that is the Irish pike... good bye old friends.
