Andy Fergusson
the author of this paper, examines why some brown trout go to the sea, while other individuals stay in the streams where they were born, migrating instead to the mainstream, estuary or lake (FF&FT October 2020).
The simple answer to the question „ What is a sea migratory brown trout?“ is thatit is a migratory brown trout that spends time feeding in the sea before returning to freshwater for further feeding, overwintering, or spawning. Generally, trout spawning takes place within small tributary streams. As illustrated in the life-cycle diagram, while some brown trout may spend all their lives within a few hundert meters of where they were born (stream-resident), most brown trout are migratory. In addition to optional migration to the sea, migrants can also occur to the downstream mainstream of a river, to brackish estuaries and lagoons, or to a lake.

I was eagerly reading articles, cut them out from the magazines and glued them into my notepad. Besides successful patterns from the Championship, Karel told me various stories many times. Karel mentioned the fact that Pascal Cognard from France, who was three times World Champion, was fishing for graylings with a dry fly and a little nymph hung under the fly. He called it “to small gallows”, and this was my very first contact with the method that enchanted me.
