The book is now available for immediate
dispatch
The author caught his first sea trout in the nineteen
sixties, sparking an enduring passion that still keeps him
from his bed on summer nights.
In PART ONE of this book, we follow him in his search for
sea trout over some four decades on some of the best of our
Scottish sea trout rivers, including the Endrick, Earn,
Allan, Border Esk and Spey. He even makes a short but
memorable foray to Wales along the way.
In PART TWO, he draws on a lifetime’s experience to guide
the novice on his quest for that first very special sea
trout to be caught on the fly at night. He gives sound
advice on Where and When we might fish; how we might be
affected by Water and Weather; the Ways and Means we might
employ on the river; with a final detailed and
well-illustrated chapter on Flies and Fly Tying, including
some of the author’s own original and highly innovative, yet
simply made, lures that have served him well for many years,
including the Needle Fly and Needle Tube Fly.
John Gray was born in 1949. From an early age, with
like-minded pals, he would pester the fishy residents of any
local burn, pond or canal within a bike ride of Bo’ness,
with occasional eagerly anticipated weekend trips on the
Kinneil Pit Angling Club bus to highland lochs, fishing the
fly and bubble float through the summer nights for wild
brown trout. Increasingly the focus was to shift, when time
and opportunity permitted, to sea trout and the occasional
salmon. For half a century, the pursuit of sea trout during
the hours of darkness has been the author’s abiding passion
and he has caught them now on more than twenty British
rivers and lochs.
After some years as a schoolteacher, in 1983 he opened a
tackle shop in Kilsyth, which moved online in 2002, keeping
the name Grays of Kilsyth, now specialising in the
manufacture of Needle Tubes and Needle Tube Flies, which are
to be found today in fly boxes the world over and have
accounted for many notable catches, including Welsh sea
trout to over 16lb, Norwegian salmon to 38lb, Canadian
salmon to 34lb and North American steelhead to 16lb.
