With the sudden influx of sea-trout on the Dee last season (long may it continue!), I fished this old favourite quite a lot attracting sea-trout and salmon... This is a pattern I've used for a number of years - seems even better since silver Salar hooks came along. Hook: Anything from size 6-14 (on small tubes if you prefer) Thread: Red or Black Body: Silver or Holo-Silver tinsel with silver wire (varnish body) Hackle: Blue Hen beard Wing; Blue Squirrel Simple, but effective!   |

Cracking wee fly there Neil. Were you using it at nite or during the day? Both Martin. But especially good just as darkness was falling. One of those "duel-purpose" flies that'll take salmon and sea-trout |

Cheers Neil, I do like flies that will take both species, will need to give them a try next season If it's fresh, it'll likely have a go  Very easy to tie and the varnished body gives an added toughness. I generally fished it last year on the point with an Editor on the dropper - sweet  |

I generally fished it last year on the point with an Editor on the dropper - sweet Sloggi what other flies do you use for seatrout on the Dee? I'm gonna do a bit more seatrout fishing at night next season when i'm there. Generally something dark with a flash of silver (or gold). Browns, blacks, and blues. Occasionally red. Silver Stoat, Executioner, Editor etc... Silver March Brown can be a good taker of sea-trout/finnock from the lower river. I also have a rod with a Monkey - takes a few fish and brings others up and gets them angry At night, I do like a big old Snake fly or Falkus lure - usually blue. |
