Popped up to the Yarty (trib of the Axe) for a couple of hours this afternoon. I hadn't had a single fish in 2 hrs, just about to pack in when the line checked when nymphing through a pool, lifted into it expecting a 8-10" wbt and all heel broke loose, a fat sea trout leapt about a foot clear of the water.... After a bit of a tussle I'd caught my first ever sea trout.. 21"...very chuffed..  And very frustrated that I didn't bother taking my camera out with me..... |

Well done on your first sea trout. The Axe and the Yarty produce very good sea trout fishing,in my opinion better than the brown trout . Over the years there have been many in double figures with a 16lb fished out of the upper reaches some years ago. My best is 9lb but I have lost much bigger ones. A deaf bloke I used to meet regularly on the Abbey Gate water caught some big ones including a10.5 lb fish. It is a mistake to wait for the traditional warm balmy evenings of June onwards. There is almost always a run of early bigger fish. Get out now and watch the fish moving through the pools on dimpsy dark.
Tight lines, Colin.

Cheers Colin, I didn't buy a full game licence this year as I thought I'd concentrate on wbt, but I think next season I'll have to spend a bit of time trying some sea trout late eve fishing....
