Christened my Freestone rod in style tonight, netted at least seven trout in the 1-2 lb range 

But it was also a really frustrating night, I can't remember the last time that I was wading in amongst so many big trout. Don't know if they were Brownies or Sea Trout, but I was surrounded by rising fish for half an hour, maybe an hour, and the ones that I caught were by far the smallest  ..... the kind of night that you dream about.

Well done Mike - your new rod got well and truly christened then.

You don't get many evenings like that and the conditions must have been just right with good trout rising all around.

Last night appeared to get quite chilly and thundery but you obviously found the right spot - when it's like that you wonder where these fish are the rest of the time - brilliant   !!!!!!

Great evening on the river last night in good company 

Netted a few Brownies, a couple of cracking Sea Trout and lost a bigger one that I was struggling to get in the net ..... all on the Sedge 

[Sandy Nelson]

It was a superb night 

A few nice ones for me too, no serious lumps like MrB but an average of over the 2lb mark, for over a dozen fish on the dry is an awesome night in anyones books.
One of them was very silvery too.I'll let the photos tell the story of a special evening.

Great stuff guys.
Hopefully a sign that the seatrout are back in good numbers after a few very poor years.

My turn last night 



Dry Sedges again and there were quite a few chasing them Duncan 

[Eddie Sinclair]

Nice one Sandy

[Sandy Nelson]

A bloody nuisance when your chasing browns

First world problems 

[Duncan McRae]

Nice seatrout Sandy.

Where I went last night the bigger swirls proved to be the bigger browns I was looking for.



Same size 14 sedge doing the business and it’s still in one piece 



The bigger of the pair decided to sit on the shallows like Jaws so I grabbed a couple of photos before he took off



Proving to be an awesome week

Mike! , Sandy!

Wow is all I can say........that there is the stuff of dreams.

I better get out for a wee cast one night soon on that 6wt glass rod for the sea-trout.  Cinnamon Golds are already on my mind.....

Some cracking fish there gents

To echo the recent reports, I too have had some exceptional sport the last few weeks.









A few serious lunkers putting my recently purchased #5 GT90  from mike to the test, I’m absolutely loving it 









Including this silver beauty on monday at midnight. My first seatrout of the season and biggest,  I’m absolutely delighted.








Out again last night in very changeable conditions between 9pm-12am and after starting to think I know what I’m doing, got a  serious back to reality check, not a touch.

(Apologies for the quick out of the water pics but these two were my biggest so far and didn’t want to risk the loss of the fish before a pic, all nursed gently and returned strong to fight another day)

[Eddie Sinclair]

Nice fish Stevie, some belters in there.
