I raised this question on FFF a little while ago and thought I would get your opinion. I have a window of a week on the Teifi TTA waters in early June. I shall be having a crack at both the sea trout and salmon but I really want to target the sea trout. Here comes the snag..........It is unlikely that I will be able to fish at night for them. Am I wasting my time? Should I stick to Salmon? Should I stay in the pub...............any advice would be most welcome......................birdsnest

Birds nest I cant speak regards the teifi but given the crrect conditions sea trout can be taken in fast streamy water at the head of pool. I use small doubles for this 12's, 14's and sometimes 16's. A bit of flash a wisp of a wing and also perhaps just a simple spider. Early morn and late eve are normally the best bet. look at my flies for the season thread mate and youll get the ideaCHEERS

Early June; great time. Please bring the weather with you!!!
Fishing; you certainly won't be wasting your time. Indeed, the daytime fishing may be better than the night-time, depending on water. If you've got a coloured river then the night fishing should be avoided, but the daytime fishing can be superb, especially on a falling/clearing spate.
If, however, the water is low and clear, which I really hope it will be at that time of the year, then to be honest birdsnest the daytime fishing can be really tough - but certainly not impossible. However, the advice below from XL50 is spot on. Fishing at dusk can be fantastic, as can first light, especially with the smaller offerings. I wouldn't go spoiling the main tail of a good holding pool if there's someone going to fish it that night, but should you be around as it is getting dark then you should stand a good chance in such a place too. Wouldn't bother for the salmon on the tails, but certainly the more turbulent runs and heads of the pools.

Any other questions just give us a reply birdsnest. There are a lot of Teifi anglers on here.

TT I tought at 1st it was a brown as thats what I was after. But the trout from the river in question have yellow bellies and big red spots. 3 local lads all said sea trout (well coloured) It acted like a sea trout when hooked, and when it turned in the water it flashed silver. When I netted it it looked like a brown though I checked to see if it was a Kelt but no signs. It was 17" and around a 1 1/2lb and put a great bend into the 4 weight.CHEERS
