URBAN WAYS FLY CASTING LESSONS

Had a call from Liam about going Grayling fishing on the River Itchen in Winchester.

We aranged to meet at my house at 8am on the 18th of November, and hoping the weather would get better.

Our luck was in, I looked out of my bedroom window to find that the rain had stopped, but it was still a bit windy, and the  river had risen, but still a good day for fishing for grayling,  well every day is a good day for fishing, apart from my wife's birthday maybe.

Liam arived just after 8am we had a cup of tea then went out to the river and got set up, Liam was using a 6 weight 9ft rod with a floating line and a 3lb leader and a gold head nyph, it was not long before he had his first fish a small trout not a Grayling sorry,

We had a few more goes in Water Lane we were getting the bite's but Liam was a little slow on the strike, never mind it's all part of fishing along with catching the tree's and bushes.

We had a few more cast in Water lane then moved into the town stretch known as the Weirs it is a bit faster flowing and more of a challenge you must be able to roll cast as you have no room for the over head cast, We had more fish but not a Grayling, I was very surprised this is a good water for them, never mind thats fishing and Liam had a good day which is more importent to me.

Thank you Liam and all the best
