Sorrento (Nudey Beach) Dublin 18/02/08

#1 Post by jack01986 »

People: Just me

Duration:half2 till 4

Tide: ?? full out

Weather: nice hazy sunshine

Bait: fly's Shrimps and general baitfish patterns

Results: 1 sea scorpion.




Report: Spent a while thrashing away on the water with not much showing had one tiny pollack swim beside the fly. Put on a small glister shrimp and went to the rock pools there is one big one made into a bathing pool and put a few casts in there and twitched the fly around got him among some kelp. There were loads of rock gobies but the hook was to big for them.

Quality, that's the first time I've heard of a scorpion on a fly. I popped down to Hawkcliff this morning but I gave up fairly shortly due to the extremely poor visibility in the water. Decided then to take a walk down the beach to were the two small riverlets run into the sea. I fished shrimp patterns along the bottom using the current from the stream to push the fly out from shore and along the bottom. No results but sure it was worth a try and nice morning to be out. Heading to Castlebar on Wednesday for a couple of days of fly fishing for pike, so hopefully I will have better luck.
