Ok – even though I have caught grayling in the past it has been totally by accident, usually when I am on the Clyde fishing for trout I pick one or two up. I have only ever been proper grayling fishing once before and conditions were poor – not only was it cold it was…

Grayling Fishing Course – December 12th and 13th 2008
Alberto Laidlaw (casting maestro extraordinaire) is holding a two day grayling course on the River Teviot. He says: This year we have booked the Monteviot Beat on the River Teviot just outside Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders; this beat covers 2.5 miles of double bank fishing. This particular water is renowned for its large…
Grayling…in the cold, wind, occasional snow flurry…
Enormous Grayling – that is what I was told. I have been putting off going “proper” grayling fishing for a while now. Not because I do not like Grayling – I just don’t like fishing for them. I can think of better things to do with my Saturdays than standing waist deep in freezing cold…
After Grayling comes warmth
So last weekend I went for a spot of Grayling fishing. I will call it fishing but what I should really call it was a nice drive and then an opportunity to get a freezing cold left leg. Yup, the old waders are playing up once more and a leak has developed which gave me…
Grayling Galore ?
It is a funny old season right enough, last season I caught no grayling at all and this year every time I go to my other river I am picking them up. I must say though that I am not fishing for them intentionally (they are out of season) – they are coming freely to…
Grayling !!
It’s all quiet on the fishing side after the “pike†fishing trip last week. Last week I even missed my fly tying night as I was stuck in the house doing some painting. Started my new job on Monday, now that wss a scary prospect. I got my new contract through and I see there…
A funny thing happened on the way to the fish market.
It was Saturday night and I was sitting in the Flip Out cafe in Glasgow – I took the kids there to burn off some steam. I was feeling a bit edgy as several folk had been coughing harshly and there was a lack of mask wearing. You may think I am being hyper cautious…
Silly Season is Upon Us.
Ah yes, silly season is upon us. That moment on the internet when madness descends on anglers and keyboard warriors and they start getting restless and mouthing off to each other about nonsense. I first witnessed the phenomenon well over 15 years ago and it usually happened just after Christmas when folk got a new…
It’s all kicking off on the twitter with the Glasgow Angling Centre
It must be difficult for the Glasgow Angling Centre right now trying to choose a fish of the week as folks angling has been curtailed in a major way. You can tell this because after a recent choice of a well squeezed grayling was chosen legendary fisher,writer and fly tyer Matt Eastham called them out…
Winter Isolation and Hibernation.
To my utter shame I have never been a big fan of winter fishing. There is something about winter that forces me to have some down time – maybe it is the cold or the limited opportunities however some switch off time to think about other stuff is needed. Over the last few years facebook…
