Yes watching the forecast last night I had the thought this could be one of the last mild Saturdays this year so I had an early session at Haddo. Half dozen or so feisty bows in a few hrs and home in time for an afternoon of rugby on the telly.

I've never tried for grayling and would love to catch one but from reports I see here it seems blanks are the norm?

Noel

will give you a shout next time we are going if you fancy it. 12 miles of river for a £10 for the Grayling season. Some nice fly water.
, some stretches can be bait fished

 .

Jim

[Noel Kelly]

Sounds good but I've never seen any reports of fish

[Jim Eddie]

They are there though but as members of the Grayling preservation Society we have taken a pledge not to catch them 

 

Jim

[Noel Kelly]

Next you will be telling me ye fish with bits of pink fluff no hooks. 

[Jim Eddie]

Fish are there though Noel, found a 20lb + dead Salmon, guy bait fishing Had decent out of season Brownie which he of course returned.

 Wow that's a big salmon! I've never seen one that big dead or alive. Do ye have any local grayling info? Baz maybe? 
I've actually got 2 boxes of "grayling flies" one tied by a well known uk guy and I've never even tied one on!   

[Jim Eddie]

Noel its like any other river fishing, I do it once or twice a year, so I'm never going to be any good, but I enjoy the day out. Like anything else if you want to be successful you need put the time in.

I have fished the Isla maybe 5 times and only had some small brownies, have only had grayling off of the Dean which runs into the Isla and can be fished off the same permit. Nothing prolific tho 
Seen Plenty of grayling on the Earn on the other hand! Note i said seen, have caught a few but have seen alot being caught also!
