IF YOU'VE NEVER TRIED EURO NYMPHING FOR GRAYLING THEN YOU'RE MISSING OUT! IN PART ONE WE LOOK AT THEIR FEEDING HABITS AND TACKLE YOU'LL NEED TO CATCH THIS AWESOME FISH. I, like many anglers have become hooked on Euro Nymphing for Grayling. The fight that these fish put up in fast-flowing water, once they get that immense dorsal up, is truly spectacular. In fact, some of my larger grayling, from the Tweed system, have spent as much time out of the water as trout! No wonder fly anglers love them. Euro Nymphing for Grayling – A Better Understanding Grayling will feed at the water’s surfa ..read more

A FRANCIS IS NOT JUST A FLY, NOR FOR THAT MATTER A FLY FOR ALL WATERS ALL SEASON LONG. LEARNING HOW TO FISH THE FRANCIS OFFERS ANOTHER ESSENTIAL TECHNIQUE TO HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL A Francis is essentially a shrimp style pattern, tied in a range of sizes from tiny dressed trebles or doubles and microtubes, to 2 inch tubes.

EVEN DURING A GOOD DAYS FISHING WHEN SALMON ARE ON THE TAKE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY WILL GO OFF THE BOIL. SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THE SAME OLD TRIED AND TESTED TECHNIQUES IS CALLED FOR. A ghillie pointed out to me recently that in his experience, most fishers do not ‘go different enough’ at these times. Merely dropping or increasing the size of fly slightly or changing from one pattern to another isn’t enough. The Sunray Shadow, when fished correctly, is not only a different fly but requires a very different technique – a good call for when the conventional has failed ..read more

THE BIGGER FISH TAKE UP THE BEST LIES, THE AREAS THAT OFFER THE BEST CHANCE OF FOOD, A PLACE TO ESCAPE AND PLENTY OF OXYGEN! I mentioned in part one the importance of oxygen to fish in our rivers during warm weather conditions through the late summer, so I shan’t go into detail.

But, don’t be scared of deep water too. Anything up to 8ft, and the trout will be there. White, churning water where you can ..read more

GONE ARE THE DAYS OF SACRIFICING FEEL AND TOUCH IN YOUR SALTWATER FLY ROD, THE SAGE SALT R8 CHANGES THE GAME! It’s now been six months since I first got my hands on the Sage Salt R8, and I can honestly say I have hardly had it out of my hands. You can read my initial thoughts on the rod here when I took it out to Belize to target bonefish, permit and tarpon. After returning from Belize, I couldn’t wait to take it out on my coastal marks and see how it performed closer to home. Every time I have ventured to the coast, I have had one with me. Be it the #6 for chasing sea trout or mu ..read more
