Leaping Sea Trout

[Gillies]

Was out for a walk tonight taking photos, surprisingly there was a pretty energetic Sea Trout jumping about at the mouth of a river - didnt have correct lens on camera (was taking landscapes) but decided to try and get a photo of it jumping - which was VERY hard, poor light (getting dark), and not knowing where it was going to jump (so 3-4 pictures of splashes after it jumped) - quality not the best, but this is best shot I came up with.

 

 

 

Poor quality, but it looked to be around 2 lbs or so in weight - been nice on end of a rod

Try spining for them next time gillies lovely on the old oatmeal and grilled a lot better taste than farmed trout.

But make sure that you have a licence!

Get a quite few of them over the summer/autumn as they enter into the rivers and lochs.

 

Used to fish for them in the sea a lot - can be very frustrating though, they can be jumping left right and centre and not look at a thing one day, next day they can be taking readily.

 

One of the best fish in our waters to eat though I think!

If the rod and line fails - a friend of mine! said try tickling them. I would never contemplate it! cos it is not fair and probably illegal. xxx

 

ps undercut banks and under large rocks my friend tells me!
