Peter is back with a weekly round up from Piscari-Fly…
How’s the Fishing, West Cork
The lads headed to West Cork last week and spent a few days around Crookhaven, hunting the coastline down there. What an amazing and stunning place to go fishing. It was all saltwater fishing so we were fishing rock marks, kayaking around the bays and estuaries. They came across some amazing pollock fishing on the fly.
They didn’t manage to land any mullet but saw an amazing crazy amount of good sized Mullet up around the estuaries, they just weren’t on. No sign of any bass there yet, but there is definitely lots of potential for them down there. The pollock fishing was just outstanding and some craic on a fly rod. Peter was on his Syndicate Aquos 10ft 7weight and throwing an 8 weight fast intermediate, counting down to the fish and he was using 10 pound breaking strain flourocarbon tippet with just a nice slow steady retrieve of the rocks. This simple approach was proving to be very effective with lots of fish around the 4 to 6lbs.
Mark also had a few good ones of the Kayak heading up to 8 or 9 pound weight. It was a brilliant weeks fishing. Our flies were simple weighted slim streamers and fished slowly and some flat wings doing the business. We found Chartruese to be the best colour over the few days.
Huge thanks to our good friend Morgan O’Brien for putting up with with us and putting us up. It truly is a fabulous part of the country to visit for a few days fishing saltwater. Something different. and I look forward to going back

River Nore
The Nore has been fishing quite decent this week. From all reports are there are good trout feeding about at the moment. There is a sign of a run of grills up there now also with some been hooked and returned.
Over the last week some quality trout fishing was had by a good few of our customers and some quality trout being caught. If you are in the area it is worth getting out for a cast. The weather seems to be unsettled again this week but hopefully see it settling down some. If in the area call in and we give you some pointers and locations to hit.
Masterclasses
Ireland on the Fly
Peter is doing a masterclass with Ireland on the Fly on the dry dropper technique for river brown trout.
At the height of the summer there’s no better way to target river trout than with the deadly combination of dry fly and nymph underneath. Whether they’re taking on top or sub surface, Peter will be giving invaluable tips and advice.
For river trout anglers this will be a must-see webinar on Thursday the 25th of July.
