I have been going to Ireland every may for over 18 years now and the festivals have steadily decreased in size - this is a good thing in some respects as those that do go get spaced out more and get better fishing as a result.
The last few years there have been problems with razor mussels in the lakes causing really clear water and consequently making it harder to catch during the day - evening fishing has always been excellent - but the match catches have reduced compared to the hey days back in the 80's and early 90's
Additionally there have been reports of netting of roach and bream to be ploughed into farmers fields for fertaliser but how true this is I'm not sure.
My question is - how many people on here have been to Ireland before on festivals and stopped going?? Would you consider going again and if not why not.... perhaps you have never been - what would encourage you to go or what is putting you off?
