Wild Fish

juni 24, 2024 1 min read

Wild fish populations are collapsing as their habitats are destroyed faster than anything else.

Euro Nymphing. Tackle, methods and flies.

     My favourite methods of fly fishing are dry-fly or sight-fished nymphs/bugs, but particularly during the winter, when fishing on spate rivers, the grayling are usually loath to rise to a dry fly and the water is too coloured, or the light too poor, to see the fish for sight-fishing.

My favourite flies for Grayling fishing in Winter

My favourite flies for Grayling fishing in Winter

 Presentation is another critical factor in achieving success & grayling are just as unpredictable with respect to this. Sometimes they want a fly ‘on the drop’ & often they will travel quite a distance to take a fly as it slowly sinks. So there are times that it doesn’t pay to fish a fast-sinking, heavily weighted fly.
