It was nice to get out on the last day and I was lucky to catch 3 trout, not big ones, but a pleasure to catch, as the river had been in spate for nearly 2 weeks.
I am now going to tally up my trout catches for the season and send them in to the club
(Lamington Angling).
The season started with a bang, I caught on the first day, but things quietened down a bit mid season.
However I didn't have many fish blank days, catching a few grayling towards the end of the season.
So I am now going to give it a few days rest and then start again fishing the river for grayling.
Same tactics as for the trout but I will fish the known haunts of the grayling to try and avoid catching out of season trout.
I will also watch were I am wading to make sure I do not disturb the trout Redd's.
You are allowed to use bait while fishing for grayling but I will stick to the fly- ain't going to be tempted to stick a maggot or worm on when things get hard.
My club waters are open from now until the end of January, then there is a month and a bit rest when the new trout season starts on 15th of March.
We have some big grayling in the Clyde and hopefully I can tempt one this year.
As the river temperature drops the grayling start to shoal up, its just a matter of finding them,so I will have to be prepared to cover a few miles along the river bank.
Lets have some good weather before the winter is upon us. " Fish-on."
My last trout of the 2012 season, I must try and take some better shots.
