Hi Paul
As you may well know, sea trout can be thee most fickle of fish to catch in the sea on the fly. Sometimes it's just damn near impossible.
I know where you are coming from, I have seen 'shoals' of seatrout ignore every fly in the box, well proven sea trout flies too ( a rogan's gadget is a great fly alright). They can be seen coming right up next to the fly and 'eye balling' it, they know it just isn't real pray and thy don't take it.
It's easier to catch them in a moving current but for still or slow moving water, I think that it comes to the stage where they just won't accept a fly pattern at all.
Maybe try fishing further into dark but the only option might be to switch to spinning or bait (live bait is probably best).. Unless you get a fly pattern that looks and acts EXACTLY like a sandeel!
