Wales is famed for its heavy runs of sea trout. When is the best time to catch them?
True, the sea trout (locally called “sewin”) is certainly a Welsh speciality, highly prized for their fighting ability (and taste). The main runs come up from the estuaries from about the middle of June in a normal year, peaking in September. Night is the best time to fish for them as they’re easily spooked, but good hauls can be made around sunrise or sunset.
