2016 trout and grayling season


2016 trout and grayling seasons were a bit quiet ( for me anyway) maybe because I was away on holiday most of the time.
However I did catch a few nice fish but unfortunately I was on my own at the time, so the snaps of my catch were either on the bank or in the net.
Far better to have a picture of the angler-- with a grin on his face-- lol
proudly displaying his capture.
So I am trying to put together some shots of other anglers catches  if they are kind enough to send them to me.
I will post when I receive them.




          A nice 2lb plus wild brown trout, caught on the dry fly by my fishing chum-Hugh.




              Same angler--different fish-- (and this time with a nice smile on his face )
              A lovely grayling.




Another stunning trout taken on a wee dry fly in the summer months of 2016.
Nearly a smile from my mate Kev




There he goes again -a nice grayling later on in the year.
Probably too cold for a smile.




Finally a couple of eager beginners --they loved their first go at fly fishing.
I hope to see them again this coming season.
I bet I will.

So its mid February now and its no fishing for me until the weather warms up.
I'm getting too old for standing waste deep in a cold river, trying to catch an elusive grayling.
So the fishes will have to wait until the Spring.
