Fishing
Tackle for the Foxford Fishery
|
For heavy
water in the spring or in the summer flood powerful 10-12ft
spinning rods with 15-18lb breaking strain are required for
trolling and legering baits or spinning rubber-tails, spoons
and Rapalas.
This tackle may be scaled down for bait fishing or spinning
for grilse and summer salmon using similar techniques. For fly
fishing a 13ft double-handed rod #9 line and a 10ft single-handed
rod #7 line will cover most eventualities.
Floating lines are used in summer conditions whilst full-sinking
or sink-tip lines may be required in higher or colder water.
In addition the bubble and fly can be deadly in certain conditions
and this is fished either using a 10-12ft light-actioned spinning
rod or a light double-handed fly rod with a large-spooled spinning
reel and light nylon.
For fly patterns the Irish shrimp flies such as the Bann special,
Foxford shrimp or Orange and Gold are hard to beat in sizes
8-14 depending on condtions.
Locally tied flies and appropriate lures are available at the
fishery from our staff. |
