Seatrout Fishing in Denmark

Biology

a seatrout is beginning to be tired...
On a fly

The danish seatrouts spend normally their first two or three years in the river where they were born. All this time they feed on insects and crustaceans and they look allmost exactly like brown trouts (sea trouts and brown trouts are really the same fish). When getting older the little seatrout (fry) move downstream towards deeper water. Then, when the seatrouts reach the lowest part of the river and if they are big enough, they reach the so called "smolt" stage and migrate out into the salt water.

By then the brown trout fish has turned into a silvery fish ready for the hounting requirements of the ocean. Not before this moment has it developed its gills so that they can excrete excess salt from the body to maintain the internal salt balance.
