GRAYLING FISHING - TROTTING WITH MAGGOTS

Sdílet
Vložit
  • čas přidán 15. 12. 2020
  • Join me grayling fishing on a stunning river in Hampshire. I get to grips with trotting for grayling using maggots as bait. A perfect way to spend a day in Winter on the banks of the river in pursuit of such a stunning fish. We look at tackle and rigs before simply enjoying the day and catching some stunning fish.

    What a philistine not using a pin its sacrilege!!! Seriously using one for trotting is far superior to a fixed spool reel. I have not used one a great deal but once i did I thought it was easier far mor control over the float and the best things are not having to piddle about with the bail arm or worring about the spool being fully loaded. Looks a cracking stretch and a stunning grayling at the end.

    To me, the purest form of angling is trotting for grayling! That sums up proper English wild fishing! I'd rather trot a swim for a 3lb grayling than catch a big carp! Anyday a week! That and long-trottjng for big roach!👌

    • @Lifeonthebank
      @Lifeonthebank  Před 3 lety +1

      Can’t argue with that at all. Shame that travel restrictions might stop me doing this again before the end of the season. I love the finesse required when angling for these beautiful fish 👌

    Well done, cracking fish that big grayling, I find that if you go out and do what you did, fish for a new species by a method you are not used to, it automatically takes you back to your early memories of fishing, and that intense excitement when you catch what you are looking for.
    Great video, some nice trout in there too, not to be overlooked either.
    Hope you great Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2021.
