That's a very nice bend in the rod. Funny the colder it is, the more guaranteed, it is to catch a grayling.

Definitely a winter species I wouldn’t want to catch them much before November or after March same as the unofficial pike season

First grayling sesh of the season today for me.
Timed it just right as the extra water really switched them on.
21 caught in total from around 6oz to well over the 1.5lb mark. Every one of them a super battle on the light balanced tackle and soft spliced tip rod.
Caught various other species all afternoon also.

Popped over the Pennines last Thursday W.Yorks to have a dabble for grayling . It were grand going over the top (M62) , it looks so different when its all white . Got to my destination and had a couple of hours chasing my target species . Initially slow , but a change of swims put me onto the fish . I had a steady stream of grayling and when the trout arrived I was picking up them and grayling . Nothing large , best circa 1lb , but good fun on a nice cool day .
Kept local yesterday for a session after grayling . Started at the top of the length , first fish a minnow sized grayling . It improved from there , I had a good mixed bag , best graying circa 12oz , trout to 3.5lb and 2 bonus chub both around 3.5-4lb . One of the was a warworn battler that looked has if it would have exceeded 4lb in its prime .

Had a nice day on the lower itchen fishery on Sunday . 9 grayling, three over the pound mark, and over 20 trout up to 4lb .I was using my new rod, maver signature pro, brought from Richard Isaacs. Handled the trout no problem, and still had fun with the smaller grayling, thanks Richard you wasn't wrong about this rod

I’m glad it’s just right for the job. Yes they are fantastic rods and a shame they didn’t continue them.
Stayed on my side of the pennines on Monday and fished in the Ribble valley . Went to the top of the beat and took a number of grayling , nothing over 6oz .Moved to the next swim and had better quality grayling to 1lb 2oz , a couple of brown trout to 3lb+ and a 1lb+ smolt .On my final swim I had 2 decent grayling and a plague of minnows . All on trotted maggot , retired a happy man .
