Tidal Fly Fishing For Sea Trout | West Of Scotland

A beautiful spring night after the bars of silver on the local tidal area. Logan had a good little session with plenty of action and a few fish. Lots of Sea Trout jumping which is always a great indication, he can’t wait to get back out on the fly at this peaceful location again!! Hopefully you guys enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of this video.

The salmon have arrived in the leven 👏

[@theanglingfront]

Yep, heard some of the sightings and catches, absolutely estatic 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Using a linebasket or a flexistripper, will make your casting much easier and give a lot more control of the line stripped...
Easier casting, more enjoyment...👍

[@theanglingfront]

Yeah mate I do agree definitely would help with the line management when stripping. I like to travel light when fishing rivers so it doesn’t really bother me especially if I am moving about different paces of water and it’s not needed etc. Thanks for watching

Takes me back to when there was a large island on the opposite bank always a great spot

[@theanglingfront]

That’s awesome, bet it was a great place to fish back in the day when it was booming

[@djgrazer1974]

My old stomping ground.. i used to go in the water around the same place and work my way down to in front of the railway bridge...had some great sea trout down there...tight lines mate...🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@theanglingfront]

That’s awesome! Hopefully I get to experience what you had this season mate! Thanks for the comment and tight lines 🤘🏻🎣

[@djgrazer1974]

@@theanglingfront the River used to be brilliant for Salmon and Sea trout.. sadly the salmon have all but disappeared, with the odd fish getting caught.. there's been a decline in sea trout 2... But at least there's still some fish about .. hopefully 1 day then fish might come back in numbers... Fingers crossed..🎣🎣🎣🎣

@@bertifrasilmeye995 Hi mate, how did that river fish in 1974? I bet it was full of great fishing back then!! I’ve heard some great stories of salmon run and watched a few documentaries too

[@bertifrasilmeye995]

@@theanglingfrontHi, the sea trout were bigger, your best sea trout vid size was not the norm but more often.
I am not a salmon man ...just love the sporting sea trout.
We use to fish just above the " motorway bridge" 1.25 k from Dumbarton towards L,Lomond.
it was a great gravel run I think my record was ten, a three pounder fell out of ny rucksack on
the way back to the station I WAS SICK not much C.A.R back then.
I guy I knew got 20pounder trauling back and forth from the castle towards Port Glasgow.
I think it may have been illegal.
Ther was also a run of..... the guys called Polish salmon?
Wee short stubby salmon.'
I worked for ABU 1976 so I had all the gear.
I went through a lot of 16th of an ounce droppens.
Bought a box every Friday from the warehouse on Wellington St.
Enough I will be smoking a pipe soon.. and calling myself Hargreaves.

@@bertifrasilmeye995 That’s amazing, really appreciate you giving me a bit of the history and past catches, I’m quite a sad history nut, so all that information was bloody fantastic!! Really appreciate that Hargreaves 🤣 only joking, tightlines friend 🤘🏻🎣

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Ken thanks for the kind words really appreciate that, this was my friend Logan and he has said to me he’s was using a squirrel and blue pattern on a size 12 double hook, and for the reel it was a large arbour behemoth reel, hope this helps 😁

I fish a bit further up the river started back in the late 80’s and meet two local anglers asked about the seatrout and said when was it best to start, when it gets dark was the reply, well coming from the north west it was like perpetual daylight to me, so after a laugh the next advice was when you can see three stars, had many a good night from small nebs up to two or three pound’s, and then after midnight you switched to the sunk lure, you would hear the fish’s fins whirring in the night when they jumped and see bow waves coming up the river 🤕sadly these days are gone, then I started finding it getting harder to catch them in the dark and nearly gave up, but i went out for the brownies and once the sun was low enough i stated catching seatrout on the smaller trout patterns as apposed to the standard low water salmon hooks of yore, how the river has changed with catches like a lot of places going down, a lot of the seatrout caught are estuary trout rather than the more traditional full blown seatrout, it might be that with the Clyde estuary habitat improving and a lot more food that the trout are hanging around the estuary rather than traveling north to feeding grounds, were just waiting for the first springer to appear 😬

[@theanglingfront]

Very intriguing Angus, makes sense as the estuary in my opinion is booming with sea trout in recent years, I am still yet to tackle the local river system properly this season! Hopefully I manage a few out of there, thanks for sharing this Angus really informative and interesting 🤘🏻🎣
