Sea Trout
Cool conditions and good flow rates have seen a good start to the 2024 sea trout season with fish being reported in the 3 - 5lb range. Leading the pack again this season is Billy Gardiner Cross with this lovely fresh run fish between 7-8lb taken on the lower tidal part of the fishery. Sea trout fishing during 2023 saw an initial run in early June. We had a lull in late June and July. The big tides of late July and early Aug saw a fresh influx.
Billy's early season persistence pays off again in 2024. Congratulations on a splendid catch.
Ruairi Lamont's pool booking during early September 2023 was rewarded with this mint looking sea trout. A great photo too Ruairi!
Billy says "I started fishing on the 1st of May (2023) but it wasn't until June that I caught this sea trout of about 5lb. Caught on a Zebra Reflex spinner at Cowlease close to the entrance gate. Looking forward to getting my next one!"
