#1 Post by Ross »

People: Ross

Duration: 2 hrs.

Tide: Mid Tide flood

Weather: Calm, muggy, overcast, some light rain

Bait: Fly

Rigs: 9 Wt Salt Fly Rod, 9 WF Sinking Line, Red/Yellow Fly

Results:
2 Pollock

Released alive

Report:
Fished under George's Head Kilkee. Calm conditions allowed access to a low rock platform.
Had 2 Pollock follow the fly and turn away in a flash of bronze!
Finally nailed this big fella after a struggle to keep him out of the kelp! Had one other smaller Pollock.
SWFF is mental!
