As
the trout season draws to a close the completely wild grayling come into
their own and autumn days on the river can be very special indeed
For decades grayling were considered something of a pest and river keepers
were instructed to remove them. However, we happily live in more enlightened
times where the grayling is rightly regarded as the fourth game fish,
an equal to the salmon, trout and sea trout.
Despite the winter rains, many of the upper reaches of the Test and other
chalkstreams run clear, perfect for sight fishing with Red Tags, the Grayling
Witch, Shrimp patterns and Killer Bugs for the "lady of the river".

One Day Introduction to Grayling Fishing 

| |
|
Grayling are one of the ‘mystery’ fishes
on our chalkstreams. In truth they don’t really belong here
having been imported in the mid-Victorian era to spice up the trout
fishing.
They are regarded as a game fish, though bizarrely they spawn
in the spring whilst their trout and salmon counterparts breed in
the winter. It is this difference in the breeding cycle which makes
them such good sport in the autumn.
|
Are grayling harder or easier to catch than trout? It is a good question
that the one day course will answer for you. Grayling have different feeding
habits, rise patterns and prefer to live in shoals all of which will make
you adapt your trout techniques.
You will find Bullington Manor the ideal venue for honing your sight
fishing skills with nymph and dry fly. The gin clear water and abundant
grayling population is a delight to see against the backdrop of the shades
of autumn.
The group is limited to just four and you will be fishing a beat on
a tributary of the famous River Test, at Bullington Manor. One of our
highly experienced Fishing Guides/Instructors will lead the day, which
will cover all of the following with plenty of time dedicated to fishing
itself!
• Tackling up for grayling
• Nymph vs. dry fly
• Specialist tactics for grayling
• The flies grayling love and hate
• 5 things you do with grayling that you don’t with trout
Each day runs from 9.30am-5.30pm, with a break for lunch. There is a
fully equipped Fishing Cabin at Bullington Manor and a wide choice of
local accommodation in Stockbridge, just six miles away.
