Gerry,
There are many sand eel imitations out there. I like this type of fly when the sand eels are around. It is tied on a 2/0 hook and has weighted eyes. You can get them or tie them in different sizes and lengths. Declouser or as some call it, half and half. EZ body patters as shown are productive as well. You'll need a sinking line as well.
