Hi everybody and a happy new year at first!
I would like to read your meanings about saltwaterfishing for pollack, coalfish and other norwegian fish.
Since 3 years I use only one fly in different forms, but every time in the colours yellow-orange. These flies gave me a lot of fish, but I am looking for the perfect pattern and the perfect tying.
My flies on the fotos are made with polar fibre, the heads are secured with epoxy and a bit of glitter, with or without an extra conehead. Both flies goes like a jig, that's maybe the way to have success.
I fish the flies with a scandinavian saltwater shooting head and a 10 feet fast sinking polyleader to bring the fly deeper, the leader is 10 feet long too.
The fishing is simple, after a long cast you can hope for a coalfish or a seatrout (or mackerel and garfish in the season) and when the fly is coming near the rocky shore you should hold your rod good, cause that’s the sick room of many nice and sturdy pollacks.
Patterns like a surf candy or simular are even good, but the yellow-orange is better. For many years I used a spinning rod and a Gladsax in yellow-orange, it catched like no other and so I searched for matching polar fibre. My wife use only the orange-yellow Gladsax actually!
On the picture you can see what a pollack mostly eat, small, no, very small fish. The pollack on the foto had 72 centimeters.
Orange-yellow is a very good mix for sweetwater too, I catched pike, pikeperch and lake trouts with it.
Thank you for every good recipe! 😄
