has anybody been out on the upper Clyde for Grayling recently? I am thinking about heading out there tomorrow cause of the cold snap. Also does anyone know if you are allowed to fish for the pike in the river with a fly? just wondered about hook size regulations and all that.

Cheers

As of last night the water was still very high and the colour of coffee.
Be prepaired for disapointment.
As for the pike, i have no idea.

Cheers for the heads up. That's too bad. SEPA website said it was on the drop though.

It is on the drop but its still hell of a high.
These things are relative, you should have seen it earlier in the week!

Buzz,

Went down no Grayling just a fat brownie. the river was very clear and there was a decent Hatch.

All power to you.
I was at a 3yr olds Birthday party?
What were you fishing bugs,wets or drys(????)?

I was on the clyde on friday and it was clear. Had 5 or 6 small grayling, my mate had the same. All on bugs. Best was 3/4 of a pound. I did see a guy who was playing a huge grayling for half an hour on 3lb leader He reckoned the fish was near 5lb. Said he had a couple on nymphs earlier in the day.

I was using dries and bugs. Caught the trout on a 16 pink and grey parachute.

I don't know the water too well, but had a nice day out. Nice work on Friday Tweed, sounds like a good outing.

I am green with envy, its over a week since ive been in the water.
Thats it, i am bunking off work one afternoon this week....

Just wondering what the best style of fishing for grayling is ?

is it fly fishing (what to use ?)

or trot a maggot or sweetcorn ?

i have never fished a river before never mind for grayling !

thinking of going up the Earn next week,,i take it the time is right for grayling !
