Hi All,

I am going to give Grayling fishing a wee go this winter, never done this before so really just looking for advice on which line, floating, intermediate or sinker and which flies to try, also anyone in Scotland or Glasgow area that ties and sells decent Grayling flies??

Thanks in advance

Kev

In my opinion can't beat these flies for quality Grayling Flies

Seconded.

Kev,

Regarding fly line, you need to use a floating one. For nymph fishing, which is usually best done for grayling by casting upstream, you use the end of the fly line as your strike indicator. When it stops suddenly , diverts across or whizzes upstream, strike! Weighted nymphs, particularly bead head nymphs and Czech nymphs will get the business end of your leader down to the depth the grayling are feeding at.

Hi Kev, have a look hear also for flies,Welcome To ISLAND FLIES 09.

Agreed. I bought some very well-tied salmon flies from this gentleman whilst on the Isle of Harris recently. Also just ordered some trout/ grayling flies from him, which arrived promptly and were - again - well-tied.

I hope the trout/ grayling flies will be as successful as the salmon flies were.

I am also newish to grayling fishing although i have been catching plenty on dry flies the last couple of months.I went out today with the Duo & found anything with a hot pink tungsten bead is deadly.Only thing that ****** me off was the paint on the beads wears off pretty quickly.. I am thinking about buying a few Metallic Finished Tungsten Beads instead as they should be more hard wearing.The colours don't look as good though Metallic colour tungsten beads
How do others find the metallic ones compair.Cheers

Chuckie try & buy Grayling Through The Year | Fish On Productions .
It's a bit pricey but theres two disks & has everything in it you need. Cheers

I use these quite a bit and they wont chip. The colours are brighter than you think so buy a wee sample and have a go.
