Whet the appetite!

11 February, 2006 by Alistair

So a few weeks back, Mike, a guy who I have fished with a few times sent me some pictures of Grayling that he caught. Absolutely lovely looking fish and impressive sizes too.

3lb

I am afraid i have still to catch a grayling, but to be honest I have never really put any great effort into it. Saying that though, we have a trip planned for next month where instead of trying on the surface with dry flies we are actually going to try and catch them the proper way with nymphs.

2nd

Both fish were around the 3lb size!

I forgot to buy a Euro millions lottery ticket last night, Claire and I often talk about where we would stay and I always say somewhere near a river, nothing to extravagant though. I think this suits the bill nicely.

A rare opportunity of acquiring a most attractive substantial period country residence offering high quality residential accommodation with 4 /5 bedrooms plus separate self contained granny / holiday annexe, set within commodious gardens on the banks of the river Teifi with fishing.

Sounds and looks lovely!

    He caught these on the Kelvin?! Lucky. Where I am, we have to go north to get those. I have to move to Scotland!

    I like your site!

    Hiya, no he did not catch these on the Kelvin, the kelvin unfortunetly not clean enough for grayling yet. We catch wild brownies 🙂
