Good pollack on fly from West Cork venue

Pollock fishing on the fly over the weekend was very good indeed our regular diary reporter Richie Ryan proclaimed. ” It’s great to see the big pollock are back on their usual marks. In April we wouldn’t expect the numbers and size of fish we encountered aboard the Doc’s boat “Celine” , but the long settled weather has obviously played its part “.

“We met fish at  close on 70 feet at one stage as the wind was slack, I’m going metric inch by inch by the way!” Jacques Bronkhorst remarked to the guide that he’d never caught pollock on the fly at that depth before. Richie agreed, it was a first for him also. Modifying and experimenting as always, Kevin Mc Loughlin was using his favourite salmon pattern for the day which worked very well indeed. He even christened his new rod and brought along his famous pork pies. by all accounts they’re gorgeous!
