Sea Trout

[tillylamp 1,830]

i don't have any knowledge about these fish.....so...do these fish live in the sea all the time until they come to the rivers to sporn? hence the name....sea trout, but i have never heard of anyone catching them of the beach,

or is it the other way round....they live in the rivers, but travels out to the sea to get to the next river?

also, do they taste like a salt or freshwater fish?....

Sea trout are just brown trout that go to sea to feed. Any river that has brown trout will have a run of Sea trout as long as they have access back to the river to spawn. Sea trout differ from Salmon in that even though they go to the sea to feed, they stay near the coast and return to the river every year to spawn. Unlike Salmon most large Sea trout are multiple spawned fish this can be read in their scales, where the larger growth rings ring denote their time of sea feeding and the narrow band are when they return to spawn.

 

 

Of course this is a simplified version of what actually happens, but it gives you an idea of their life cycle.

 

There is some in depth information here.
