St. John's Harbour

Sea trout will be pouring into the Waterford River from this very little Harbour in the upcoming weeks.

What do you call sea trout? In some places it is a strictly sea going fish, ie spotted trout, or searun cutthroat, or brookies, or even rainbows- steelhead?
Which do you have please and can I come?

Sea-run brown trout in that river. I'll post some pics when things get going and yes, you can come.

I've been to St. Johns and fished the Rennies as well as the Virginia river. In 04 it was early July and I took about a dozon Browns in a couple hours. I remeber them all being on the bigger side, none smaller than 12 " and many around 17" or larger.

Would these have been sea run browns? Someone suggested that there may still have been sea trout in the river that late in the summer. I ask this because when I've fished St. John's rivers later in the summer all of the trout ran smaller than this.

Also, LF, I'm from Nortre Dame Bay area of the island where a seatrout is a sea run brook trout. Just in case your interested, only the Avalon Pennensula has a good population of browns, the rest of NF is entirely brook trout water, atlantic salmon of coarse are found all over the island.
