Today I went grayling fishing at
Timsbury Fishing. In preparation, I picked up some tips from an old hand at the fly fishing forums and also found a helpful blog on
Czech nymphing.
I caught nothing all day, so perhaps "grayling fishing" isn't strictly accurate. However, I must say the setting was idyllic and another fly fisherman did catch a couple of fish, so I think my skills were to blame, or possibly the temperature which was around 4° C, rather than the fishing.
One dicey patch was when I managed to get my line knotted round a high branch while fishing the carrier. Don't ask me how I managed it! Thankfully the knot eventually came loose.
