still stunned by the colours

the colours of these shad when taken from the river leave a lasting impression, a truly special fish. These photos dont really do them justice.

Fishing Report - May 06th - Niall Kelly

Oceanflies chartreuse and white deceiver

Whilst guiding for Niall this week he had a real treat - it had been blowing easterly most of the week but was still mild. Water was loaded with weed for the first ten metres or so but Niall picked the fish up at about 15-18 ms out. Hit the fly hard in a big current fished across and down with little or no retrieve, loads of wave activity so he was in 'good spirits' - went back fine too.

Hi Jim,thought I might try for these guys in earnest today,and was rewarded with three smallish but very feisty fellahs. Great sport on light tackle..............
