Pleased, proud (and slightly nervous) to announce that my book on sea trout (sea run brown trout) fishing has finally made it to print. It is now open for pre-order; the books are scheduled to arrive in four weeks’ time.

It has taken many years to compile and complete, encapsulating a lifetime in pursuit of sea trout.

I have self-published, which means that I am reliant on fellow anglers spreading the word. I would really appreciate you sharing this post to help me make the book a success.

I believe the book offers something for everyone; from the beginner through to the most ardent. The book covers 244 pages over 25 chapters, ranging from tips and techniques on fly, spin and bait through to captivating chapters from contributors such as Moc Morgan on the evolution of Welsh sea trout flies and Martin Joergensen on saltwater fishing for sea trout. Further to this, I have called on friends and fellow sea trout addicts from around the world to contribute their favourite patterns. Included are John Graham, who not only contributes his patterns but also details their history and application, Stjani Ben from Iceland, Claudio Martin and Pepe ‘Fly’ Borzi from Argentina, Tom O’Shea from Ireland and David Pilkington from England.

No stone is left unturned in detailing how best to approach sea trout and how best to combat prevailing conditions. The book also discusses tackle, knots, casting considerations through to useful references on what time to start night fishing and length to weight formulas.

I have now been sea trout guiding for 22 years. Over this time, I have witnessed all the common mistakes and all the common misconceived perceptions on sea trout. The book addresses these, enabling you to maximise your results and time on the water.
