Friend of mine is tying for a jig company now and set up a Facebook page just to do something extra. Ty Ties Jigs. He posted some pictures of today as well. Doesn't do much fly tying though.

One of the best ever. I always loved a black gold bead, white as shown, and olive with black hackle

I do a lot of sea fishing in Ireland and the uk.
Ive only fished once since the beginning of January due to work.

We get a lot of rays. Thornbacks, small eyeds, spotteds, blondes, undulates and stingers. Common and blue skate are caught too.

This is an average size thornback.




This is a dab, our most common flat fish. However, at 34cm and just under a pound this one is a monster.





Mackerel and tub gurnard.





6lb small eyed ray from a county kerry beach.





Small conger eel. They can get huge.

Was at the vise again last night. Made a few dry flies. Stuck one in a cup of water and it floated just like it's supposed to.

The weather has me trying different things like these wedge tail jigs.

I cut bait

I dont normally share the spots I fish but since most of you are on the other side of the Atlantic I think its fairly safe.

This is the slieve league peninsula in county donegal. This is a particularly deep rock mark. The rocks drop off almost vertically below the surface. Its luke fishing off the top of an almost entirely submerged cliff. There's 200ft if water withing range if you can send it far enough.




Nearly every species of fish in our waters can be caught here.

This was a funny surprise last August.
The sea cucumber, or as I like to call it: "the n1&&3r's schlong"




A sea otter we seen while fishing a harbour wall in county sligo




Octopus are a fairly common catch during the winter months. Theyre meant to make fantastic bait for big predatory fish but i can't bring myself to kill one.




The north Wales coastline. Deep water and fast tides, dont fall in.

Daughter Queen of the boat today with 2 at 50cm/20in.
Particularly pleasing because she struggled a bit her last trip and I want them to see fishing as fun not dumb.

I don't make flies, I swat them and then deal with the smush on the wall.

I got some gear, doubt I will ever use it.
Most likely going to gift it to a good friend.

Had to chop a hole in the ice but this will satisfy my craving for some fresh fish.
