Been out four times in the last three weeks for Grayling and had not a touch until yesterday. Having entered the Earlstone competition on the Tweed with the intention of watching how its done and picking up some tips, I caught a cracking fish measuring 39cm. I estimated it to be about 1.5 lbs? Lovely fish and chuffed to bits I got drawn the upper mertoun beat a nice stretch of river. Does anyone know if this part of the river has permits available for trout/grayling, I know some of the stretches are private and were only made available for the comp. Anyway a good day out, well organised comp and one I wont forget in a while

Go on www.fishtweed.co.uk website all the info you need!!

Not sure if you know but there is another comp coming up on saturday which is being held on the Teviot.

the borders gun & tackle shop in st boswells sell tickets for upper,lower & middle mertoun for trout & grayling

Yeah pop im going to it, maybe see you there Thanks for the help guys

I'm thinking about heading down to Hawick for the comp also.
