Chasing Big Sea Trout, On The Fly!!

Last weekend I embarked on another fly fishing trip for sea trout, with North Westerly gusts of up to 30mph battering the West Coast of Scotland I managed to find a small windbreaker which proved extremely successful! This is possibly another Personal Best Sea Trout caught on the 7 Weight fly set up. Absolutely over the moon! Hopefully you guys enjoy the upload.

The fact that you weren’t employing your drag system properly made this a heartstopper video. Thank you. Awesome fish!

[williamhalliday]

Great honest vid, nice one!
I have to admit, i thought you might lose it, glad you didn't. Cheers for video.

Awesome Michael, cracking sea trout well done👌

[derekhawkins]

Brilliant video mate what a fish you are the fisherman for sure!!!!

[JoeQuinnFollow_the_fln]

Well done a cracking sea trout and enjoyable video

[thedoggedangler]

Excellent and congratulations, thanks for sharing, lovely sea trout! There is a reason fly reels have a drag system usually. You are either going to lose a finger or a fish in your efforts to control the fish. Respectfully suggest you either palm the bottom rim of the reel or use the drag settings. Great stuff and thanks

Well done lad . Sea trout in the sea hard to catch at times . Enjoyed vid

[WeeManSham]

Fix your drag! You’re lucky you didn’t bump that off with the handle of the reel spinning and hitting your hand! Anyway brilliant stuff mate! Tight lines! 🎣

[chefylad]

[Craigsoutdooradventures]

That’s a great video mate, thanks for sharing and a new subscriber here. I thought you were targeting bass to start

[Ghostflyfishing]

Lovely fish buddy, I need to try it myself sea fishing

[kevindonaghy]

Cracking wee night conditions 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍👌

[roberty]

Nice catch, wee tip either tighten your drag or palm the reel from the bottom so you don’t catch thumb on handle, might be all it took to lose that magnificent fish.
Nice to release to well done

Nice video. On windy days you can go up a weight on the flyline, or use an intermediate which has a heavier head.

Call it 4lb mate!
As ever, awesome stuff, brilliant fish.
You're every bit as bad as me for keeping your sleeves and hands across the centre of the shot while playing the fish! 😂
You're right about a big landing net, though, which makes life much easier. At least it's on your vest now, though, I'm sure you'd have lost her going back to shore for the net
!
Just hope I can get one of these beauties!
Take care, great stuff, Dave👍👍👍

Nice fish, all the years that I have fished for ST, I've never had the opportunity to target them in salt
