Pike Angling Associations
There is one pike organisation in Ireland. The Irish Federation of Pike Angling Clubs, (IFPAC) has a big network of pike clubs located at most the major pike angling centres. They run regular pike angling competitions at many venues nationwide. These are mainly shore competitions but some boat angling competitions on lakes and some of these are open competitions, which will welcome guests. Details on these competitions and other events and contacts within the federation can be made through their website at www.angling-in-ireland.com.
