Something simple for the Grayling

[AlanB]

It's getting to that time of year here; just hope I get the chance to go after some grayling. There are none in my area finding some means a trip of at least 100 mile south. Strange for a fish that inhabits colder water than trout, which are more than plentiful here.

These are just wire (two colours), tying thread and Diamond Hard UV resin over the back. Although they are not heavy they will sink very quickly. That gives me the choice of fishing them as Czech nymphs or hanging them below a dry.

Cheers,
A.

Look good. Hope you get some grayling.
Pre fly fishing days in Alaska I caught some.

Rick, Probably a different sub species. Up there you would get Thalamus Arcticus. Here we get Thalamus Thalamus. Not a huge difference. Here it extends our fishing through the winter, the trout season extends from March or April to the end of September. Without the grayling it would mean putting the rods away for the winter. Its either grayling or stocked rainbows in ponds through the winter.

Cheers,
A.

Alan,

Very nice fly. Would a dearth of your strain of grayling be a HypoThalamus, and an excess a HyperThalamus?

Scott,
You'll be sent to the punitentiary for that.
