Grayling fishing - Top 5 Grayling Flies this Autumn

With the Grayling season now underway in earnest, here are my top five flies that I always have in my box.

• Sawyers Killer Bug
• Klinkhammer (matched to whatever colour the hatch is)
• Gold Ribs Hares Ear
• Red Tag
• Snipe & Purple

If there is nothing rising there seems to be little point in trying to tempt one to the surface as they will be busy feeding elsewhere. If you are having no joy then try fishing a team of 2 or 3 wet flies to search out those pools and find the depth the fish are feeding. Remember, Grayling are shoal fish so if you get one then be prepared to catch some more!
