I just tied up some CRAZY looking sea flies, totally made them up with what i could find and ive never made a sea fly before. Think I needed to add more weight to them but hey. Pics to follow, varnishing heads :D

Can't see why they wouldn't work, but be prepared to tie up more cos I think they'll get ripped to shreds quickly.

Awrabestfurrafishinnatknow!!! :shock (glesga speak - was in weegieland tonight - funny how it all comes back.............)

So how many budgies perished for all those feathers?!  :z4
Seriously though, iv just started tying my own flies and sadly some of the trout dry flies iv attempted have ended up looking much like them.
I  bet the mackerel will love the blue and white beasty!

They will catch..deffo! I tend to have some that are very "lifelike" and others that are litterlu 4 white chicken feathers with a bit of sparkle. If i am hitting Pollock/Saithe or coalies then I use the lifelike ones as those fish dont have teeth. If the Macks turn up then I switch to the "cheaper2 flies as the Macks have small needle like teeth.


As for tomorrow..do you know where Cove harbour is? Better to meet there I think because the traffic arround The Thistle is a nightmare just now and its been taking me 30 minutes to just get past the place the last few nights.

Also, I finish at 4 so i was going to go straight to the harbour and have a few casts until you turned up :)

Alright

How did you both get on at Cove harbour?

Use to live in Cove and have often thought about fly fishing in the gully to the left of the harbour.

really interested to how you got on!

Cheers

well was a good wee sesh, will definately be giving it another go, Rob caught a small Pollock and (said I was going to ROb) almost caught the smallest fish ive ever seen ahahahahhaha slashed at the fly as i was lifting it out.

The tide was going out so didnt really have much of a chance. Next time, next time  :z16

Ok..ok..so I got it wrong..I looked at the wrong figures on the tide table and arrived at low tide, not high!!..d'oh!

Next time though :)...great fun all the same. I think i might have to use a lead core though as a super fast sink was no where near as deep as it could have been. The Pollock took a size 4 "Hollofusion" beige and white sandeel I dressed. About 4 inches long. Its strange to be fishing in the sea with flies that are considerably SMALLER than the ones I use in lochs!..lol

Next time Cameron, next time!! :)  :z18

haha no worries, what time was High Tide???

Next time I'll be ready with some flies of a more suitable nature (gonna head to Summers tomorrow maybe). Also gonna buy some heavier mono as the rocks just CHOMPED throught my 6lbs flourocarbon stuff, save that for the trout hehe.

thanks again ROb, and let me know next time you fancy having another bash, also for the Pike you mentioned :D  :z13
