SuperGoose75 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Well had a bit of a tiff with TOH before dinner prompted me to throw the gear in the van and drive to a river 40miles away that I had been meaning to fish for awhile. It was a favourite haunt of an old friend and myself back in the day. It must have been near 20yrs since I last fished it. Long story short..! I relised I had forgotten the landing net. I was fishing two flies..a blue/silver on the point and a small brown fly on the dropper. A lot of water in the river and I was catching ''Brownies'' of various sizes on both flies. I would loved to have fished into the wee small hours, but I had to be up early this morn. So last couple of cast's and I got a nice tug that told me it was a bit bigger than the brown trout I had been getting. I played until it was beat and took the chance of lifting it up onto the bank. A wee sea trout of around the 1lb that took the lead fly. It will be cooked - en Papillote. There is something really special and magical about night time river fishing for Seatrout. I had forgotton how much I actually enjoyed it. Β Edited August 10, 2023 by SuperGoose75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just wont take any of my offerings, despite fishing 3 flies at times. I have been doing ok at the Mackeral bashing though.

Β Fantastic post Super goose thereβs nothing better than fly fishing at dusk on a river Your senses come alive The closest here in Northern Ireland is night fishing for Dallagan which is a large Lough Neagh trout that comes up the rivers that run into the lough Casting onto the water at night your mind plays tricks on you πππ Just now, Gerry78 said: Fantastic post Super goose thereβs nothing better than fly fishing at dusk on a river Your senses come alive The closest here in Northern Ireland is night fishing for Dallagan which is a large Lough Neagh trout that comes up the rivers that run into the lough Casting onto the water at night your mind plays tricks on you πππ Glad you used the Welsh name Sewin π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
