Hiya Guys,
I am just starting my third full season of Saltwater Flyfishing (SWFF), had only one bass so far this year but a few nice pollack and some mackerel too. our season here is just starting but will last until November/December, my best fish last year was 6.5lb in November.
I started tying my own flies in January 2004 and now don't buy flies anymore.
I am one of the founding members of
http://www.ukswff.com and you can find me on the forum at
http://ukswff.proboards26.com under the same username. i also now have my own small non-commercial site devoted to SWFF in Guernsey -
http://www.swff.co.uk which is still being put togther.
When i'm not fishing, i'm an activist for B.A.S.S. and Guernsey's own bass conservation site which i helped set up -
http://www.saveourbass.com, by writing letters or generally annoying politicians and commercial fisherman. I also recently joined the NFSA.
Along with seven other UKSWFFers i have just come back from Chatham, Cape Cod, MA - 9 days fishing for striped bass and bluefish - check the pics here on an excellent US forum - [url]http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flytalk4/showthread.php?t=20622[/url] - we'll be going back for 2 weeks next year. :wink:
My next trip is to your lovely shores in september, based on the cork/ waterford border, so any advice on marks tide times & tackle shops will be most welcome.
and of course all the bass ( or any other species) will be returned.
Thanks
Mark.
