David Norman reports from West Cork…
Going back a week or so I caught and released this 70cm Pollock which is definitely one of my best kayak Pollock (On fly, I’ve had bigger on lure).
You would think that, with all the Sprat around at the moment and in clear water with full Sun the most effective flies might be Blue/White or maybe Chartreuse/White, both of which I tried and but this beastie and a few more fell to my weedless Pink/Black pattern.
I also note that, on the rare occasion I keep a Pollock for the table in these bait rich periods, I rarely find much if anything in them food wise. They certainly aren’t bloated and full of Sprat as you might expect.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this might be, I’d be interested to hear them…
Go fishing…
