winter grayling and rainbow trout fly fishing

Winter Fly Fishing

Two misconceptions about fly fishing are that winter time is closed season or winter fishing is for the few brave/stupid enough to venture out!

Winter grayling fishing provides superb sport with fish to 3lbs for the river enthusiastThis simply is not true. Firstly, a large number of stillwaters in Great Britain now remain open all year or at least operate an extended season for rainbow trout which broadly speaking do not breed in UK waters. 

On rivers grayling provide exciting dry fly and nymph fishing right through to spring when they spawn. With the advent of modern outdoor clothing and recent mild winter weather, their is no need to be cold while enjoying outdoor life.

To make winter fly fishing for grayling or rainbow trout even more attractive, the fish are often in better condition and fight far harder in the oxygen rich water than at more traditional seasons of the fly fishers year. Add to this that some of the largest rainbow trout are caught at this time and you can see (as shown in the picture below) their is no reason to put those rods away!
