thinkin of going for grayling here tomorrow never fished it before so was wondering what areas people would recommend?? plus is there anywhere you are allowed to wade that is productive as i would rather be bugging for them??

Kinkell bridge is where the forum trip went and by all accounts a very good place.

no wading at kinkell bridge,hard to fly fish from the banks as river tree lined for much of it wouldn't reccomend it for fly fishing trotting a maggot yes.

mmm thats what iv heard,,,i was just thinkin of trying here as iv heard the tummel is quite a dangerous river for wading???

anyone know where you are allowed to wade on the river earn??

Not on the Crieff AC beat, maybe on some of the lower beats - Dupplin?

As far as I can see you can't wade on the Dupplin estate beats either. I fished the crieff water today and managed one grayling (my 1st) and the no wading rule was a pain. I felt very restricted in where I could fish as there are also lots of trees but it adds to the challenge i suppose!

aye cheers for the replys guys..i noticed that about the chesties too

Well done on your first grayling

Your correct the no wading makes the Crieff water very difficult to fish with the fly but come the trout season, when wading is allowed, the fishing can be excellent. There are a couple of bits where I can get into the water and wade up the middle of the stream and cast to fish on either bank. Kinkell is actually a wee bit easier to fish the fly from the bank.
