I've been out a few times already this year for shortish sessions on the fly without any luck - am I wasting my time or is fly fishing this early a viable approach?

S - you could start seeing some on the next tides - its still very early but you have a much better chance than I have here in Wexford at the moment -next weeks weather could bring something - might be some help here http://www.probassfisher.com/2008/04/sa ... is-my.html

Steve, we have been picking them up on bait thru the winter. They are there. May be using a small soft plastic on a dead sticking approach or an extremely slow retrieve might work. Having said that the earliest I've caught them or seen them being caught in these parts is April, but we do try from Paddy's W/e on.

Oh btw, seeing that this is a SWFF forum, I should be suggesting using that sp as the 'fly.'
