Default 3lb Grayling!

I was privileged (and lucky) enough to catch this magnificent specimen last week from a Welsh river. It was weighed accurately and was 3lb on the dot. Luckily my good friend Dan was nearby and for once I have some good pictures to remember it by! Prior to this my pb fly caught Grayling was 1lb15oz
