Spring day in march
Andrew enjoyed a nice spring day today with some beautiful sea trout landed in mid-afternoon. Taking our time, we waited for the strategic state of tide and suddenly the fish were there. All fish were caught on single barbless hooks retro fitted to the lures. Trebles can really damage these fish very easily.

NEW PE+ Crystal Line from Cortland
A new crystal clear FLOATING fly line now available from Cortland for fishing warm water only! Surely a cold water solution is not far away..........
This is what Cortland have to say
The all-new Precision PE+ Crystal is formulated with a proprietary blend of polyethylene and special copolymers. Built on a nylon monofilament core, the PE+ Crystal’s patent-pending crystal-clear jacket is naturally lighter than water, eliminating the need for micro-balloons or other agents to make it float. The hard, ultra-smooth PE+ line jacket finish has a lower coefficient of friction than any production floating line ever built, so it shoots silently through the guides and casts faster and farther than equivalent PVC-coated floating lines. The tough, new PE+ line jacket is also much more resistant to cuts / abrasion and is fused to the monofilament core with an almost unbreakable bond so nail knots hold securely and there is never any separation of jacket and core. It’s high tensile strength virtually eliminates stretch for instantaneous hook sets and incredible sensitivity. The PE+ jacket is also UV stable, will not absorb water, is highly resistant to chemicals -- and won’t soften or dissolve when exposed to DEET, gasoline or most other solvents. And, unlike PVC-coated fly lines, they are 100% recyclable.

Ireland remains a Great destination
Just published Partir Pecher (march-april-may edition) features NINE pages on bass fishing in Wexford, Ireland. Ireland holds its own as a unique location against more exotic destinations like the Bahamas, Greenland and Alaska, because of the quality of the bass fishing, combined with the unique attractions of the South East and all of the amenities available.
The journalist (Daniel) involved in making the article spent a week here in Wexford with my family and I and got a first hand experience of what the fishing and the guiding service provided.
For those of you who care to remember the 'difficult' season of 2008 this week proved no different. Although at times the sun shone, it blew north easterly for five days....interesting!
The article is both realistically balanced and mature in its approach to bass fishing in Ireland and all of the aspects involved. It also does a fair, accurate and brilliant job for Irish angling as a whole.
