Sea Trout on the Fly at night. "September" ( HD )

Just a selection of the sea trout that can be caught on the fly at night, these trout were caught in the end of September just as things were slowing down. Filmed, fished and edited by Paul Hanley.

Honestly when I watch sea trout swim in their natural environment I get the same feeling I did when I was a boy of tea years old. It fascinates me. Especially in such clear water as this. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. There is a special feeling about fishing in the night for seatrout. So quiet but so intense.

[@tyler23mma]

Great video, very hard to find a spot like that down my way, the rivers are rapped.. The fishery board do nothing for our rivers it's a shame

[@MrKingfisher3]

Thanks for the comment Steve, to be honest they have a hard job with the minimum of resources due to a lack of funding.

[@ChrisWalklet]

Nice video. Nice narrative to go along with your film and some pretty fish.

[@Bluestar79804]

Hopefully we'll see you post few new seatrout videos this year, last year was very poor for seatrout in cork, water levels up down at alot

[@MrKingfisher3]

True but I really didn't do much last year, this year I'll get some videos up if more people subscribe.

[@MrKingfisher3]

+william partingtonw Thanks William, there will be two new videos coming out during the next week or so showing some great specimen sea trout up to eight pounds caught at night on the fly.

hi absolutely great video, nice to know that river sea trout can be caught at night even in autumn. I have found ,like yourself that the joy of catching them is enhanced when they swim away safely after being released. Do you have a favorite fly size.

[@MrKingfisher3]

I always fish two different sizes on the same cast, on the point i use a size 8 and on the dropper a size 12. The bigger point fly gets depth and the dropper then fishes mid water, sometimes the trout prefer small flies and on other nights they only hit the larger flies.

Lovely to watch. Wish I was there.

[@MrKingfisher3]

The atmosphere when night fishing is amazing all your other senses are heightened when your vision is taken away by the darkness. Every angler should try it at least once. Thanks for the comment.

[@MrKingfisher3]

Thanks Chris.

Hi Darren it was County Cork.

[@darrenbyrd4942]

[@MrKingfisher3]

No, but i did fish the Argideen during the year and saw some great sea trout there.

How are you fishing the Flies?

[@MrKingfisher3]

Some times natural drift depending on water depth and speed, but where I fish normally the river has slow and deep pools so figure of eight retrieve can be very productive as the takes can be very aggressive and one needs to have direct contact with the fish and all slack line off the water.

[@balor7]

MrKingfisher3 thank you!

[@Jack-tp5ji]

Hi Paul great footage. Do you do much spinning at night for sea trout?

[@MrKingfisher3]

Not really I enjoy the fly too much better control.

[@steveg8322]

Here in the states, a 5 foot spinning rod and a small single hook in line spinner with crushed barb is ideal for brook and brown trout at night.Seems it would do nicely on sea trout.
