I went for a wee look around some netting hotspots last night followed by a bit of flattie fishing. I had a couple of flounders and a decent sea trout when this jumped on (it nearly had my rod away out of the rest)-

Good sized sea trout, what do you suspect has caused the abrasions to the fishes side and tail.

The lesions were covered in Caligus sea lice. So either directly, or indirectly by feeding on an area damaged by (eg, rubbing on a rock) it appears Caligus were to blame. For the benefit of BnC, I would like to point out the LACK of red spots on the belly of this sea trout which was covered in Caligus.

A beautiful troot, no doobt. Those lesions aren't caused by lice though, never seen lesions like that, in that position, arising from sea lice - and I have seen plenty lice affected fish! Was its dorsal fin okay?
