Another beautiful fly and a very good quality video 👊 Really enjoying watching ur videos! Keep it up! I'd use it to catch a pollack 💪🏼

[@kevinbuckler1085]

To be honest,I don't really have much interest in fly fishing ! but I find these videos fascinating and very therapeutic to watch.

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Ah fly fishing isn't for everyone but I know what you mean. I always find it fascinating watching the fly slowly be made

[@darraghryan9692]

Looks a nice weight good representation of a joey mackerel when they're about.👍

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Ya it looks great in the water too. Saddle feathers just give it a bit more movement too

[@davidmcilveen5013]

Sea Trout again.....and I think I will take your advice,in trying a larger fly to search the water,this year......before scaling down,if I'm getting lots of follows,but no takes......good tip mate. 🎣

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Ya its always great just having that bit of a bigger fly to search also you'd never know, might get that bigger fish too

[@davidmcilveen5013]

@@IrishAnglingAdventures the "funny" thing is, I also use plugs and metals which are of course much bigger than the flies l use.....and they catch plenty of fish!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Nice fly, can't wait for the cast vid👍

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Have to get out of this lockdown first haha

[@Billyfishing_watch]

[@chuckarooful]

Another lovely fly. Would like to catch my 1st fly-caught bass on that!

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Thanks Charlie.

[@integraellie]

Good videos, I’ll look into makin a few myself, I’d use that for pollack or mackerel around dalkey

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Definitely man. Such an easy fly to tie

[@derek38fishing]

Looks good for pollack, bass, maybe seatrout? I've been looking to buy some of the materials online but haven't been able to find them on any of the Irish sites. Any suggestions where I should look? I'm new to sea fishing flies, having tied trout flies for years. Your videos are a great help, very clear and easy to follow. Thank you and keep them coming please.

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Its hard enough to find stuff at the moment. I think everyone being at home doing the same thing is running stock down but id have a look at Southside angling or Irish Fly Supplies. Great to hear you like them. dont worry plenty more to come.

[@eoinlynch663]

Enjoy these vids, love to see a video of you fishing with these flies 🎣 or guide for saltwater fly fishing 👍

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Thanks very much Eoin. We are hoping to do these when we can get to the water. Unfortunately for both myself and Ian are both land locked with the current restrictions so as soon as they are lifted we will be back out. Thanks again for watching.

[@smigles9173]

Looks great will do well for me in the summer liked and subbed

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Ah certainly will. Will slay anything that sees it

[@smigles9173]

@@IrishAnglingAdventures would you know any good rock spots down in east cork around the garryvoe ballycotton area?

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

@@smigles9173 For bass Pilmore is a good area, not rocky but its easy fishing the estuary. over low water around garryvoe can be good fishing the reefs that pop up around the beaches there. You won't have great luck when its really sunny though

[@smigles9173]

@@IrishAnglingAdventures ya heard pilmore beach next to the estuary was great for bass Youghal great too but I honestly don’t know what was going on this year I was really really poor

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Ah winter is always a bit slow for bass. Give it a bit of time and it will swing around

[@dougiewharton4728]

love to try that at brandon creek for those pollack that lurk around there

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Have yet to try there. Do you fish the pier or over the hill

[@dougiewharton4728]

@@IrishAnglingAdventures usd to fish pier when they used to store all the salmon carcases and fish waste ready to take out and dump into sea used to use it as ground bait for coalies and pollack but they stopped storing it there so fish stopped coming into by pier so was forced to go over the hill or half way over and down into creek great fishing free lining a side of mackrel pollack upto 7...8 pound on light gear great fun

[@dougiewharton4728]

i have seen plenty ppl fly fishing there for mullet also just next to slipway by the river running into creek

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

@@dougiewharton4728 Have to give it a go the next day im there. Im really interested to try fish on the bottom over the hill.

[@dougiewharton4728]

@@IrishAnglingAdventures plenty of conger few codling. Wrasse as you know anythink could turn up there had conger in creek upto 36lb but very sure plenty of bigger ones there

[@See-Ireland]

I've a question.. do you think that such a detail as an eyes are really matters for the fish? I'm asking because I've heard that the predators don't care much about it. What is your experience?

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Personally I think eyes have there place. If a fish is switched on it wouldn’t matter but, with a shy fish where you can have them following flys but not taking the eyes may make the difference But everyone has a different opinion. You can get dumbbell eyes that have eyes panted on and I would tend to use them but have loads of large plain ones to use up.

[@See-Ireland]

@@IrishAnglingAdventures makes sense.. the followers might be more careful and if something is looking suspicious for them they might not attack.. I like your theory 😊 thanks for sharing ur experience!

[@kyranahearne9590]

Liked +subbed use for pollock

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Thanks very much. Great fly for them.

[@fmdjango]

Pollock off the rocks.

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Exactly what the fly I designed for
