The season starts in early November and ends by late April. Giant trevally, bluefin trevally, bonefish and triggerfish are interesting species to catch on the fly, next to that you can throw a fly at sailfish, marlin and tuna.

    1. Yes, I have fished the fly at night on rivers in the south west of the UK. But for seatrout it has to be completely dark, otherwise one will scare the fish. If you raise your hand in front of your head and you can not see the fingers, that is the time to start fishing for seatrout…
