I only had about 3 hours so I decided to start fishing at Wolfclyde Bridge.
Casting almost under the bridge I started to progress upstream.
My set up for the day (click on image) 10ft #3 rod - straight through mono to a sighter then 3 weighted nymphs fished well over depth.
The river had come up about 0.6m and it was nice to see a healthy flow of water coming down for a change.
Third cast and I was into a small brownie followed shortly after with another about the same size.
I was now about a hundred metres up from the Bridge nearly at the start of the fast water.
"Flow was getting too strong" I thought.
I decided to skip this bit and go up to a slower section which I knew had the potential of producing both good trout and grayling.
It didn't take long before I was into a 0.5 kg trout then a grayling, another wee trout and then suddenly I hit into a better fish.
At first I thought it was a big grayling but after the fish took loads of line and me having to chase it some hundred metres downstream.
I was eventually rewarded by netting a lovely trout of just over 1kg.
All getting ready for their breeding season.
A quick snap, then back into the water and seconds later it was away swimming strongly.
I carried on fishing for another hour or so and had another one of just under 1kg.
4 small trout and a couple of 0.7kg grayling
A great day to finish the 2013 trout season-I thoroughly enjoyed my few hours on the Clyde.
I think I will have a couple of weeks break then it will be out on the river again trying to catch a few grayling.
