Jack Hargreaves, a great inspiration to me as a boy and beautiful Grayling, my favourite fish.

Thanks for that. :Hat:

There is a quite brilliant section in "Fishing for a Year" by Jack who explains why Grayling shoal, why they sit much lower in the water than trout and why they twist when rising and miss a lot of flies when they rise.

There is also another Jack "OUT of TOWN" programme on Grayling when he fishes the Kennet - again he explains the nature of the Grayling rise.

Nice video. I'd like to be fishing the Wharfe for grayling at this time of year.

I'm lucky here because I can walk to my nearest river next to my farm and catch Grayling as long as the river is not flooded. I can see the river from the farm drive.
