Wow!!!
Don’t normally get out to play on a Sunday – but the brownie points were up so was allowed out for the last couple of hours of the this afternoon.
So hit a favourite wee spot on the Upper Avon keen to catch one of our elusive Grayling & would have been delighted to catch one at 3/4 of lb – but to catch two of 40cm long was just amazing & i feel so lucky and privileged to have caught such fine Grayling in the Upper Avon – they were both males with cracking big dorsals – i would have been delighted to have caught these in the Clyde but to catch them well up the Avon is amazing.
Catch & release is making an impact i believe (don’t know an angler these days who would consider killing a Grayling) & think the theory that the Avon Grayling are making a return is starting to be proved – look forward to somebody catching some bigger UAAA Grayling in the months ahead 😀
First 40cm UAAA Grayling of the day.
Second an even more fiesty than the first 😀
