2017 nearly at an end.

As I didn’t catch many grayling towards the end of this year ( 3 the last week of the trout season- biggest 3lbs and a couple of 2lbers towards  December).
We all know what a grayling looks like so I ain’t posting pics.on here.
So how about a wee change?
As I like to pop up town in Edinburgh to listen to some folk music— here’s some pics of the guys in action.

So its on to 2018 trout season
I am looking forward to it

2017 brown trout season on the River Clyde

Euan with a nice early season brown trout caught on a wee dry fly Another nice trout caught by my fishing chum Kev. And even the old chap managed to bag a couple And here's a guy/lady who knows how to catch a fish or two. Welcome back for another year.

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.
