Come Grayling Fishing in Devon...



It's not all bad for us fly fishers in the winter months. Why not wrap up warm and try for a wild west country grayling. The Tamar system is home to the most westerly grayling population in the UK and fish of over a pound are relatively common. We tend to find that goldhead nymphs fished under an indicator are the most reliable flies, yet milder days (remember them?!) can see hatches of flies and rising fish. We can offer you a private grayling beat at the reduced rate of just £20 per day; this gives you up to a mile of Devon countryside to yourself.
Escape the Christmas chaos... and go fishing.



More From An Irish Angler


County Monaghan, Ireland
Ireland is presently in the grip of a north east continental polar airstream driving down from Scandinavia. This is the third such weather system this year which is unusual. So much for global warming.

Earlier in 2010 a good friend Scott Ring went pike fishing in the north east county of Monaghan. The ten pound pike that Scott is holding was tempted on a lure as against a fly. However that and the second image capture the never say die attitude that anglers have in pursuit of their sport.

Winter Wonderland

This photo was taken a few years ago, but I think we all get the hint.
Winter has officially arrived. Even if the calendar doesn't agree.
