calm down there liam ! I was joking, maybe the new found dyslexia has cancelled out the sense of humour !
I take back my previous attempt at humour and apologise for any offence caused !

HI Liam, H Rocks

Right, flounder on the fly is possible. I have found a crab pattern from Kenya that works really well, also took a wrasse this time last year (very late) off a small rocky beach in Mayo. Very improtant however that you fish with the currents, i.e. flounder will not chase any lure, fly, bait or spoon into a current.

FWIW...

Kieran, Liam,
I was in with Frankie McPhillips a few weeks back (great fly tier). He has a few new patterns in for saltwater, they looked the business. Liam, you could contact him. He has a wee shop in the Buttermarket in Enniskillen. You can contact him through his website :-
