jack and the scorpion fish

I got this fantastic photograph from an e-mail friend called Jack. Jack saltwater fly fishes in and around the Dalkey area of Dublin. He caught this, his first fish of the season on a little shrimp pattern which he tied himself. It makes me wonder how many other species can be caught on the fly in Irish waters? and I also wonder was it the first saltwater fly caught fish in Ireland of 2008? - thanks Jack for a great first fish of 2008.
