Sea Trout,

[pearcepestcontrol 1]

My best Sewin (sea trout) of the year so far, Fell to my own fly patten just before midnight, floating line.

Nearly pulled my arm off. Cracking fish. Not bad for the stretch of water i fish. Heres hoping a bigger one comes along before the end of the season. Fish weighed in at just over four and a half pounds. Back of the Net

sea trout fishing in the dark is a wonderful experience, but the fish can be tricky to catch sometimes, think they got to be in the mood, weather conditions etc, worth the wait though :

thanks, is a sea trout you wouldent think so by that gold flash down its flank, was silver when it came out of the river.

That's a nice fish, I used to fish the Rheidol when I lived in Aberystwyth, it's a well underrated river, I used to be on it 4 or 5 nights a week in the season and go to work in a tackle shop during the day. I've not done it for 4 or 5 years now and miss it now I live where there's no sewin. You can't beat the feeling when they take in the dark! The top blokes all used a special type of fly on there too, before I got on it I had a bit of success with muddler minnows, the biggest I had was 6 1/2lb.

Lived up around pembs a few years ago and saw plenty of sea trout jumping in fishgaurd old harbour(you have to climb down the rocks on the other side to the old harbour)at dusk,also a good few at the blue lagoon off the beach up the lagoon end.Moving back to wales soon(fingers crossed) and can't wait the north sea is so crap to fish i don't go very often biggest fish i've seen caught here was a 4lb pollock and caused a crowd on the pier,used to catch them that size on a spun sandeel with the kids in pembs.Nice fish by the way mate makes me want to move even quicker.
