Trout fishing: wild brown trout, rainbow trout and sea trout across the UK
Of all the fish that swim in British freshwater, the wild brown trout is perhaps the most honest. It rises to a well-presented fly, refuses a poor one, and fights as hard as anything twice its size. Trout & Salmon’s trout pages cover every aspect of fishing for this most rewarding of species – and its close relatives, the rainbow trout and sea trout.
From Hampshire chalkstreams and Scottish Highland lochs to Welsh spate rivers, English reservoirs and Irish loughs, our coverage spans tactics, fly selection, watercraft, seasonal patterns and the best fisheries across the UK. We cover wild fishing, stocked stillwaters and everything in between.
