Falcoholic 1,348 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 They cost a lot of money for not a very good return, but they would see you through a season or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Are there any Fly fishers on here? Ive been thinking of buying some fly fishing gear, I usually just sea fish for mackerel, pollock, wrasse and doggys from the largs marina rocks but its been pretty dire recently. And theyres a decent fishery just behind largs so ive been thinking of trying it out but its mostly for fly fishing. Is it easy enough to figure out on your own? I can tell it probably looks harder than it is but i have literally no experience with fly fishing whatsoever Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought to try there mate will give it a bash usually just fish from the marina at Largs or portencross but I'm not a huge fan of either spot tbh. Have never tried the church at skelmorlie and haven't tried the skelmorlie-Largs coast in years so will maybe head down that way tomorrow night How dodgy is it fishing the lochs without a permit? Been looking at some of the anglers clubs but its a fucking rip off tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I love fishing I just have zero knowledge of my local area when it comes to fishing spots and half the spots that used to be good are pish now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at some of the anglers clubs but its a fucking rip off tbh Always find Portencross too busy to get a decent cast out,then people cast over my line,hunterston end if you park where the blocks are in last car park then go through gate and follow path till first bend,onto rocks there can chuck out the dogs,red rocks to north of Skelmorlie used to put out Plaice but not done it in years,dunno much bout lochs though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcoholic 1,348 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I know absolutely nothing about nothing about sea fishing but I would love to learn. Rigs, baits, tides, winds, marks blah blah blah I have fly fished since i was a kid. Haylie Fishery up the brae from Largs gets good press. Not really my type of fishery as I'm more of a wild hill loch type of fisher. Go up and have a look round and book yourself a casting lesson. Flies, lures, lines, hatches, imitations, depths to fish, blah blah blah all comes with experience but reading up on it helps. Just like sea fishing I suppose. I'll stick to catching bone fish and barracuda in Cuba for my sea fishing fix for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youtubes great if you want to start nowadays. You wont regret it, even Matt Hayes has gone total fly fishing. I also enjoy a bit of sea fishing.
