A group of anglers from Ireland and Germany led by Bodo Funke, Boyle, enjoyed a great day’s fishing on board Tommy McCallion’s boat Stingray during the week. The anglers ventured out from Rosses Point to fish the productive waters of Sligo Bay. Mackerel were plentiful and a number of species including cuckoo wrasse, ballan wrasse and ling were caught.
However, the highlight of the day was flyfishing for pollack as the drift allowed to get the flies deep enough and retrieve them back at a slow enough rate. Equipped with fast sinking lines and strong 10 weight rods this wasn’t a problem and many feisty pollack up to 9 lbs. could be tempted.
