beauty well done. I picked up some seatrout flies from a lad in Cork who ties them. Im going to try them with Bombarda float on spinning rod as I dont want to damage my flyrod n reel in salt water. Also i wont win prizes for distance casting lol.
Too many lures ... not enough time...

Don’t need to hit the horizon when seatrout fishing,I was working the fly behind a patch of weedy rocks about 20ft out
