Sea Trout On The Dalmarnock Beat

Here's a lively 3 lbs sea trout darting about at the neck of the Fernie Haugh pool later on this evening. This fish smashed into my size 9 copper bodied cascade right in the very tail of the top 'V' which always looked like a natural lie. This natural classic 'V' sits on the outside edge below where the 2 main streams meet and a 35 yard cast with a bit of wading covers it nicely. This could just of easily have been a salmon resting here having battled up through the heavy water below.
