How to fish it · for sea trout
When
From dusk into the first half of the night.
Where
Deeper pools and slower glides · hold water and current seams.
Method
Fish dark patterns on a sink-tip or lightly sunk line, especially near structure.
Kit
10 ft #6/7 rod, floating line with a sink-tip option, 8–10 lb fluoro tippet for the swing.
Why this works
Good conditions. Temperature is favourable (100), Prey activity is weakest (39). ⏰ Sea trout become most active after dark, but this stretch closes at 20:24 — before that window fully opens. Fish hard in the last legal hour: overcast skies and warm evenings can bring fish on early even in fading light.

About this water

Boundary river between A Coruña and Lugo provinces, entering the sea near O Barqueiro. Dark-water, rain-driven salmonid catchment with wild character and clear salmon heritage, but current practical fishing is better framed around brown trout and sea trout because salmon are depleted and out of bounds.
