Sea Trout Fishing Gear
Equip yourself with a versatile 7 to 9-weight fly fishing rod, typically around 9 feet in length, paired with a quality fly reel capable of handling both the powerful runs and the saltwater environment. Choose intermediate or sinking fly lines to target sea trout in deeper waters. Focus on fishing during low light conditions, such as dawn and dusk, when these nocturnal predators are most active near the shoreline. Employ a strip-and-pause retrieve to mimic the erratic movement of fleeing baitfish and be prepared for explosive strikes with adrenaline-fuelled battles as you pursue these elusive and powerful gamefish along coastal waters.
