- Grayling fishing season is traditionally in the winter months. They are a hard fighting fish that can provide some fantastic sport when nothing else wants to bite. To tackle the Grayling follow these simple tips.
1 - Locate a water with a known record of producing Grayling
2 - Choose a 12/13ft float fishing rod that's suitable for line strength around 5lb
3 - Use a Centrepin Reel, if you can. They provide the ultimate control for float fishing in rivers.
4 - Use a bouyant float, a "loafer" style is ideal. Use this with a size 16 hook and a couple of maggots for bait.
5 - Fish the smooth glides in the river. Feed around a dozen maggots at the top of the glide every 60 seconds and then "trot" your float through the swim.

Yay I'm your 300th subscriber
Cool little video mate, and nice little grayling, shame you not close to the rivers cos I can see you love to fish them. 👍
thinkFish-catchFish what Cornwall lacks in great river fishing it more than makes up for in it's fantastic variety of all other areas. To have wonderful rivers would be just greedy lol. All the best and tight lines!
Hi, Could you send me details of where on the Tamar you fished for the Grayling please, I live in Plymouth and have to travel to either the Bristol Avon or The Severn to fulfil my trotting needs, somewhere closer to how would be very useful.
EdBray hi. Have a look at the West Country River Trust’s app called “Fish Pass”. The only beat you can trot with bait is Netherbridge but as you can see it’s great fun. Good luck!
@@theschooloffish115 Many thanks, will do. All the best.
@@theschooloffish115 I have signed up to the Fishpass scheme, but am a little confused as to when I am able to trot maggots. On the Netherbridge info (Beat 21) it has specifics of when you can fish the worm but nothing on float fishing and no mention of other baits other than Fly, Spinning and Worm. It also states that
Can you confirm the dates that you can Trot as the info on Fishpass states season from 1st Jan to 31st December.
EdBray hi. I understand your reservations and confusion. I send the guys at WRT a message every year to double check as it’s not explicit nor promoted. For piece of mind, drop them a line (I think the chap’s name is Bruce). You can then fish without worry of a bailiff or another angler challenging you. They did used to be another beat that could be fished as well but sadly the land owner moved on and the rights to fish were lost. All the best 👍
@@theschooloffish115 Thanks for your reply, I have already sent an email to WRT asking for clarification on the issue.
I notice from the beat info there are a couple of other beats around the East Cornwall area that allow the use of worms for some periods too.
Thanks again, tight lines.
What part of the Tamar is that and how can I fish it i.e. Day ticket, clubs or websites. Could you give me any information. Thanks
Hi, i've sent you full details in an email. Best of luck and enjoy!
The School Of Fish thank you very much
I used to catch these as a kid but the river is all polluted now
