Ireland is famous for big bream fishing and Lough Kerr is one of the reasons why, as not only is there every chance you could catch a new PB, but you could also beat the national record! This perfectly formed venue of 18 acres is steeped in history and feels like time has stood still with ancient stone walls and mature foliage whilst the superb water quality makes it perfect for big bream to grow on. The lough is visited by some of the best anglers in Europe who are all chasing the elusive records it holds including ‘Banshee’ that has been caught at an incredible 21lbs.

Although all the attention is on the bream fishing, this lake also holds carp to just under 25lbs and good sized tench, roach and rudd. There are also three single player tournaments for you to master and three career mode events, as well as five new achievements that come with this venue.

You will need all your skill as well as finesse to cast accurately and then stop the fish from disappearing behind the islands, bridges and walkways that fill this complex. As well as four different lakes to explore, Talon Fishery also comes with three single player tournaments for you to master and three career mode events as well as five new achievements to complete.

Narrow channels, vegetation and shallows that a traditional boat couldn’t reach means that the ‘Haichou Explorer’ kayak that comes with this pack is vital for exploring the lake and tracking down some of the beastly trophy fish living within.

The beautiful peacock bass fights harder than all other bass and can be found up to an incredible 23lbs. The terrifying looking wolf fish can grow up to 38lbs but with huge, razor sharp teeth, you will need strong gear.

Catch Arapaima that grow up to a huge 450lbs, red tail catfish go to 120lbs and black pacu up to 70lbs. Laguna Iquitos also has 25 new trophy fish and 3 new career events for you to master.

With 1,500 acres of lake to fish from the water or shoreline including narrow, twisting sections through to open expanses of water, you will need to utilise all of your skill, watercraft and equipment to discover everything this venue has to offer.

Laguna Iquitos comes with its own set of Mastery challenges with clothing rewards suited towards the rainforest environment. Completing tier 1 of the challenges grants you a brand new design of hat with a bucket hat from our clothing partner, Wofte. Tier 2 awards a camo t-shirt and tier 3 gives you a pair of camo cargo pants and jeans.
