The sea-trout itch

It happens every year: the sea-trout itch; and you just cannot leave it! I know many anglers that cannot see the delight in setting out at dusk and fishing into the night. Certainly when things are quiet, the sight of a lit cottage in the distance with smoke pouring from the chimney seems a far better prospect than a dark river bank. But as the fly swings across the current and you feel that sudden pull and tightening... Hard to be beaten.
