In angling terms 2016 could be described as a good year! Yes, a good year for sea trout on the (Moy) estuary, not a lot of sunshine but excellent angling weather. The first week of May was a wash-out but from there on we enjoyed good dryish weather with excellent runs of sea trout and a …
This is a depressing time of year for a sea trout angler… the end of the season is approaching fast and conditions are anything but favourable.

The earlier part of the day was very patchy with a couple of sea trout but after the tide turned Peter got stuck into them and had a bumper day. Well done Pete! The …
My Sunday guests were Patrick Kennedy, David Styles, Judge Michael Gough and Cardiff Blues supporter David Roberts. David Styles with two fresh run beauties,
