sedges fished fast over quick deep runs after dark. just be sure youre holding the rod tight....theyll hit like a train.

I find the bigger fish tend be in the slower holding water, rather than fast runs. Certainly on the Clare River, where I fish, targeting faster water you will only catch small fish, but on the slow, deep pools you can get fish up to 8lbs. On these pools I find a bit of breeze helps, or even rain, as surface disturbance caused by the leader is less obvious, and you can skate a sedge across the surface a bit more naturally.

yeah, i suppose every river is different. on my main brownie river, big trout move after dark into the fast deep water. the tail runs of these stretches give unreal fishing at times. now that you mention it, if fishing for seatrout with sedges id fish the slow dead stretches with a slow figure of 8 retrieve. i fish a sinking leader to disguise any disturbance
