Hello all,
since I don't like to stampede in a newsgroup without some kind of
introduement, here it goes - I am a Dutch fisherman, preferably fly but
quite flexible if need be. No fly purist, I like to choose the tool best
fitted for the job, but nothing beats a decent fish on a fly rod :-).

I'll be in Courtmacsherry (West-Cork, Ireland) next spring, probably by
the end of April. I read quite a few websites so far about the fishing
possibilities, and it looks like I'll be in seafishing Mekka if
everything everybody promises is only half true :-).
Still, I can't imagine that all species listed will be available all
year round for shore fishing. I'd love to catch something on the fly
while I'm there, but honestly, I haven't got much of a clue what to go for.
I'll probably take a 8-weight flyrod, a spining rod, a carp rod and may
be a beachcaster if there's any room left.
Any tips, like what to take, what to leave home or don't waste your time
on bass because there won't be any would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Herman Nijland
