I had a great seatrout summer in Norway with productive trips to both the Driva and Vefsna. Fishing both single and double hand fly rods I caught my fish using typical Welsh night flies such as snakes, secret weapons and surface lures.

On Vefsna I had several fish including a mint, sea-liced eleven pounder with several back-up fish in the six to eight pounds category. On Driva I had fish to six pounds plus but I lost an absoloute monster in the middle of the night while fishing a big snake fly on the double hand.

Sea trout fishing is my favourite form of the sport – I just love the magic of casting a fly somewhere out into the darkness and waiting for that heart-stopping thump down the rod. Here’s a pic of one of the Vefsna fish weighing around seven and a half pounds.
