Nathan’s Upper Wye Grayling in the Cold!

Thanks to Nathan Walter for this wonderful Grayling photo caught trotting with a Matchpro Ultralight 14ft rod. 

Thanks to Nathan Walter for this wonderful photo of a 2lb 3oz Grayling caught trotting with a Matchpro Ultralight 14ft rod.

Nathan fished the upper reaches of the River Wye and found conditions tough with bites few and far between – but still left with this highlight – a 2lb 3oz ‘Lady Of the Stream’.  As you can see by Nathan’s attire, it was very cold with a biting easterly wind!

Successful strategy was to trot red maggots with a Drennan Wire Avon float on 3.2lb Floatfish line.

The Wire Avon float is a great all-round trotting pattern available in three sizes up to 7BB, for full details click here.
