only one way to find out.:boat:

I've caught pollack in April on the fly at Caerfai Bay (not exactly the bay but the point on the right),best fly was a 2 inch Clouser on a medium sinker.

See previous Caerfai post for directions!

definitely worth a go! my lure fishing mate has had bass, sea trout, pollack and garfish over the past few weeks on small lures. reckoned the fly might even have been better for the gars - they were close in and tended to 'bounce' off the lure.

im definatley gonna have a go, i got an intermediate and a floating line, will try both of them out, my mate said theres quite a few saltwater flies in garry evans, my rod is a good rod but its DEFINATLEY not designed for sea fishing, its called a brook rod, but i'm ok with the casting, think i finally fiquered out how to do it last sunday, i go fly fishing mabey 5 times a year, but nothing ventuered nothing gained!!

Think you might have a bit of trouble with a brook rod mate you want a 9# atleast, its o.k casting small flies 20 foot in a pond with a small rod but when you get out on the sea and are casting big flies quite a way you need a rod and line with a bit of beef in it Especially when you got an onshore wind!!
