Had a few hours on the river Dee yesterday, for most of the time it was lashing down with rain and a biting cold wind was blowing but the colder weather encouraged the fish to feed. Most were smaller grayling and 'spotties' but all were lively and good sport

Grayling are a surprisingly delicate fish, they fight hard but it takes a lot out of them. Please handle them with care, respect and minimise their time out of water, give them time to recover whilst supporting them and allow them to swim away under their own steam. Do not pull them backwards as this forces water through their gills the wrong way and can lead to foreign bodies entering their gill covers. I now use a chest mounted GoPro that allows me to take pictures or videos without having to mess about with a hand held camera. |
