Things are looking up for night sea trout fisherman this summer, with 12 fish recorded recently. The Lyd doesn't usually see many sea trout until late June, so with reasonable numbers spotted in the pools already, we are hoping for a bumper season. The fish currently resident in the pools are mostly 2-3 pounders and bright silver. July will see the start of our school peal run and with huge numbers of smolts present in early spring, we are hopeful for large numbers of these returning.
If you have never tried the Lyd, it's a small, intimate river and you are fishing for sea trout at close quarters. All that's required is a 9ft 6wt outfit with a floating line, and it's the perfect training ground to get started in night fishing. The peak of the season is usually the last week of July, though these are migratory fish and therefore rarely predictable. We have some availability left in July, so please call us if you are interested.
