I decided to cycle down to the river tonight. Headed down for nine and checked out a few of my favourite spots. Hardly anything showing until about 10pm when a few sporadic rises started to appear here and there. Then as the bats began their nightly hunt the big boys made their appearance, there were some HUGE fish!! I tracked a few sedges on the surface and just watched the big heads appear as they were slurped. I know where I'll be heading tomorrow night  :wink

Now that I've got a 3lb+ Brown under my belt as of last night :z14 I've decided to try and target Sea Trout. Can anyone help me with tactics, flies, best times to fish for them?  :z16

Cheers

nice work liam. was that using the battenkill reel?

Give me a shout next time you are down my end of the river, and i'll show you a couple of pools/places where sea trout might be found. That said, if you keep on fishing the way you are fishing now, you'll be sure to hook a sea trout on the dry too, cool!

cheers
