Ach well always next year.

Hope you can place some pictures on here especially of any grayling caught no matter what size, as an ex-gryffe boy living in Coventry, I miss the girl.

ditto ... I also used to fish the Gryffe (and am now near Coventry) and miss not only the river but also the cost of the annual license. I routinely pay as much now for a day on a small river as I did for a year when I lived in Kilmacolm

I look forward to some pictures as well.

Nothing this year to report but due to heavy workload have not been down too much this year.

For Fatshark here is a few pictures from last season.

Good Wet Fly water



Andrew Moray has been out with some success & I believe was broke with a good fish, maybe he can chip in.

Spoke to a guy that caught a blue trout well over 6 lb in the Gryffe a few weeks ago must have been an escapee from somewhere .
