grayling on the dry

[sage]

HI All.

Thought you might like a look at this grayling I caught, it is 50cms and took a size 22 dry in a lovely streamy run, about 3 mtrs from my feet ;D

A beautiful specimen.
But did it manage to spawn?

Hi RD.

It is a little early to spawn in this neck of the woods, just in case you was wondering it went back safe and sound, I was on my own , so just poped it on the soft grass for a quick pic and put him back ASAP ;D

Sage:
That's super. I couldn't tell what time of year it was. It could of been anytime...But great the little /big / fat bugger was put back. Respect.

thegreydusterman:
Quite a broad topic you've touched on.
Take a look here: www.globalflyfisher.com and surf around. The site is full of stuff you questioned.
