Hello all.
Would anyone have any info or tips for the Shimna?
Know it's mostly famous for it's sea trout, but we're hitting it tomorrow (sat) after a last-minute change of venue. Never had a throw on it before.
Have sussed out day tickets (£10 for DCAL holders). But other than that I know nothin about this water. Would appreciate it folks.
Many thanks. PMs welcome.
PS. Will do a report for y'all. 
Tight lines!

hi i have never fished it before but my dads m8 has a few times he said anything black and silver is good and if u want you allowed to put maggots on your flies  and a teal blue and silver is good if you get maggots fish them slow. o and the record irish seatrout was caught there it was either 16 or 19lb
