Time to put away the delicate Brown Trout dries and break out the trusted Grayling dries, The Grayling Witch, The Supa Pupa to name two of my most productive dries, but also time for the nymphs and some serious tying in order to fill the hungry appetites of the Grayling.

This year also after a year's sabbatical Trotting a small red worm with a centrepin & one of my own handmade floats, but not quite yet until there is a heavy frost or snow on the ground, plenty of fly life still around to keep the Grayling rising.
What could be better than getting up on a crisp autumn morning, walking across the fields in the early light of dawn and catching Grayling from your favourite rivers....Magical!
Especially when you are rewarded with sights like this.
To all my fellow Grayling anglers around the UK & afield I hope you have a great season.
George the simplicity of those flies just makes me feel so good. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat fin is awesome.
Im a great believer in KISS Alan, Keep is so simple. To many people over complicate their fishing when really it doesn't need it at all. I can confirm all of them caught fish too.
DeleteThere's nowt better then leaving your foot prints in the frosted field and there still there after you have finished along with no others. Cant wait.
ReplyDeletedefinitely for sure Neil
