Hounds in west cork?

#1 Post by Bradley »

Just wondering if there are any marks for smooth hounds in the west cork area?

If so when is the time to start trying?

One of my guests caught one of 4lbs 12ozs about 6 years ago and could not understand why i was so excited as he caught hundreds back home in the UK.
Having said that not one been caught since!.
Live out on the beautiful Beara Peninsula. Always willing to assist visiting anglers.
