Bonfils Creek is a local name for this mark near The Bridges of Ross.
If you would like to fish it, pm me.
Frodo, Neilus and Ross will take you there where we have had spectacular sport!

just a word of warning, myself and wacker07 fished it lastnight in rough conditions, fish were still present, but the fishing was uncomfortable due to high winds, and a big swell, the rocks around the bridges are not suitable in rough seas, low sloping rocks facing the atlantic do not make for safe or easy fishing in high sea's. last night was just about borderline..... just thought I'd let people know in case they were planning trips to the area.
