Sea trout

Sea trout: fishing for migratory brown trout in rivers, lochs and estuaries

Sea trout is one of game fishing’s most unpredictable pursuits – a fish that can be taken in broad daylight on a coloured spate river, at dusk on a Highland loch, or deep into the night on a Welsh pool where nothing moves until the world goes quiet. It rewards local knowledge above almost everything else.

Trout & Salmon covers sea trout fishing across its strongholds: the Welsh rivers Dovey, Tywi and Teifi, the lochs and spate rivers of the Scottish Highlands, the wild fisheries of Ireland and the summer runs of the West Country. We cover tactics for day and night fishing, fly selection through the hours, reading lies where fish rest after running, and the rod and line set-ups suited to each condition.

For the obsessives, this is your corner of the site.
