Nice haul, Chris. I feel sorry for the grayling, as it seems heavily pressured. They must all have been caught hundreds of times, so must find those maggots irresistible (well, yours, anyway!)

They do see a lot of anglers (mainly thanks to the Anglers Mail that did a write up on the place some years back!)  - but can honestly say only one of todays ladies showed signs of being caught before (damaged maxillary). I do think it's no surprise though that I always get my bigger ones from the less accessible swims i.e. one where you need to get in a wade! Mind you 2 of today's anglers weren't troubling the grayling - as they were chucking lures around!

I like your style - sneaky! I'd heard that you rubber-wearers get all of the fun. 

Nah - rubber is so last season - its now all "Four-layer Toray QuadraLam waterproof, breathable laminate" !!
