I have been following your fishing for quite a while, I know know that your fly tying sessions are well worth watching, excellent example of the killer shrimp.

Thankyou . This is the only one I use now days on Grafham . I particularly like it in a size 12 . Two of those and a washed out Orange FAB on a floater is deadly from the bank in the winter ! Thanks for watching and Subscribing .

Thanks for all of your videos Tim, thy've been a real help. I was hoping you could shede some light on winter fishing at Grafham. What is December lioke for shrimp and fry feeding trout on Grafham?

[@martinowens6065]

Thanks very much for this video Tim. Would you expect to see shrimps on Grafham in September?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Absolutely . Shrimps are present and on the menu all year at Grafham . But September really marks the start of the shrimp season . The fish begin to gather in numbers around the lake edges to make the most of this autumn bonanza !
