Spinning for Trout & Salmon

This can be a very skillful method of catching fish, it’s not just a chuck and chance thing. For Sea Trout we need to have light tackle and a delicate approach, to get the lures underneath the tree canopy where the Sea Trout will be lying. Lures can vary from “Rapala”, “Flying c” and the deadly “Quill”

Worming for Trout & Salmon

A very skillful method of catching fish, although Sea Trout & Salmon do not feed in fresh water, many fish are caught by the worming method. For Sea Trout we use light tackle, small hooks and one or two worms. For Salmon, the lob worm is king and a bunch of brandlings used properly can excite any Salmon.

Fly Fishing for Sea Trout & Salmon

Fly fishing for Sea Trout at night must be the most exciting experience in fishing there is. We’ve got the hours until midnight when the fish are active where we fish with floater or intermediate. After midnight we have to use tactics to get down to the fish, sink tip lines and fast sinkers are the order of the day. The choice of flies is important but the presentation has to be perfect.

Fly fishing for Salmon, tactics vary from that of Sea Trout fishing in that we need heavier tackle in normal water and a single handed rod will suffice but in heavier water in the autumn a double handed rod will be required.
