bass in cork during winter

#1 Post by ian »

anyone having any luck on fly in the cork area at this time of year ? does anyone know if it's still worthwhile braving the elements, or have Bass and Pollack disappeared until spring/summer ?

bass on the fly

bass on the fly with the right methods on most of the south coast at the moment - if only in the short weather windows.

thanks guys, i didn't manage to catch any Bass after late October last year but started to catch a few about 3 weeks ago again. (Fly fishing only.)
So I guess that Nov to Feb appear to be lean months for Bass on fly, of course weather doesn't help as the water is clouded most of the time.
