No winter is complete without a crack at a really big grayling and it was with this in mind that JT headed up to the Borders with Andy recently to fish the Tweed system. Freezing fog and snow gave way to lovely winter sunshine on the first day and JT had a couple of beauties. Attention switched to Leader Water on the second day and it was Andy's turn to hit a nice fish or two. Mission: to catch a few big grayling... Mission Accomplished!!!

Sorry for the delay in getting new posts online - but we do have a good reason this time. We have been working hard in the editing studio and we're now in the final stages of completing our new DVD - "Small Stream Trout Fishing". Fingers crossed it will be available by late February, so we hope to have some with us at the Spring Fly Fair at Newark. JT and Deano will be there to sign (or deface however you feel about it) copies purchased at the event. You will find us with the co-sponsors Total Flyfisher magazine.

We have also started filming the next in the River Academy series - "Winter Grayling Fishing" - watch this space or check out our website for details on both.

Back to work on 4th January for JT, guiding/guesting again on the Wye. Another scorching day with about 50 grayling landed, including these beauties (shame about the hat though!)

The first outing of 2009 took Deano and JP to their local river on 2nd January. The year got off to a flying start for Deano with a double hook-up of grayling from a pool that produced 14 fish in total.
Just when the pair thought things couldn’t get any better JP managed not one but two barbel! If anyone has any doubts as to the capabilities of a 4wt streamflex take a look at these pics. Total for the day… 50 grayling (all of good average size) and 2 barbel.

Then while his relatives were asleep on the morning of New Year’s Day, JT stole out for an hour on his local river and started 2009 as he means to continue… seven nice grayling, including this one which looks to have been in a fight earlier in life.

JT managed one final trip of 2008 on 30th December guiding/guesting on the Derbyshire Wye. A genuine “red-letter day” with upwards of 70 grayling landed. This is one of the better ones.

Deano and JP made their last trip of 2008 to the River Calder on 29th December. To say it was cold would be an understatement but the fishing was well worth it. The day ended with a total of 37 grayling one of which (pictured) fell to a size 22 dry fly.

Next up, it was across to the Welsh Dee with Andy. JT hadn't fished it since Wales last hosted the River International in 2005 and it was Andy's first time on the river. Once again, it was a highly successful visit with over 40 fish landed.

That may be it until after Christmas for the Fish On team. If so, have a great Christmas and if you do manage to wet a line over the Festive period, may it be a Tight One!

JT had to postpone quite a few guiding days earlier in December with fluctuating river levels and high doses of salt/grit running in off the roads, but fortunately managed to get out a couple of times during the last week. First off was a first ever bugging trip for Frank. Well, he was a very quick learner as this beauty (one of a 10 fish haul) will show:

Towards the end of the month, we had the first real frosts of the year and those clear blue skies with low wintry sunshine. Proper grayling weather! JT couldn’t resist a trip or two out on his own in such beautiful conditions and his efforts were well rewarded!

JT and JP were extremely privileged to be invited onto Derbyshire’s little River Noe as guests late on in November. They concentrated their efforts on the two lower beats and had 50 fish between them. The average size of the grayling was fair and their haul included one or two real beauties. Shame neither of them could find their razors in the morning though…

JP and Deano managed a short session on their local River mid November during one of Deano’s brief breaks in filming the new series of “Ashes”. The weather was cold but both managed fish on dries in amongst all the bug captures.

A trip to Barcelona mid month got in the way of JT’s fishing (but was very pleasant nonetheless!) Luckily on his return the rivers carried on in scintillating form with good numbers of good grayling falling to JT and his clients

November started really well for JT with three short but really productive sessions on the Welsh Wye at Builth Wells. There for the autumn AAPGAI gathering, he managed to sneak off for a couple of hours each afternoon and find some cracking sport on the dry fly! Could make some obvious crack about rainbows and pots of gold, but hey, why bother?

JT lost his first few days to the weather this year in October, with scenes like this messing with his work a few times… These are the famous Stepping Stones at Bolton Abbey on the Wharfe, or rather, where they should be!

JT’s tuition weekend at the end of October went really well with all clients connecting with some lovely grayling. It’s best to focus on tactics and techniques rather than merely ‘catching’, but putting a few in the net certainly raises the confidence levels!

Exactly 50% of the Fish On team made a trip to South Yorkshire mid-month and it took a while to find the fish, but plenty of fun was had when they were finally located! Isn’t it strange when you fish through several hundred meters of prime-looking grayling water without a take, and then proceed to get about 15 from the same tiny piece of water?

We must get a more regular update sorted out for this blog! Our sincere apologies for the ‘lateness’ of this catch up.

JT had a busy October’s guiding with various clients across Derbyshire and Yorkshire with some lovely grayling being caught.
The Wharfe, Calder and Goyt gave good sport with 20-30 fish per session the norm rather than the exception.

21st September - National River Final

The National was held on the beautiful river Tees this year and it was an excellent venue. The top two beats fished extremely well and the lower two were more of a challenge. Shortage of controllers left anglers controlling for each other and fishing half a day on the Saturday and Sunday. Pictured are the two lads I controlled for, Robert Brown and Alex Bobba (who incidentally both qualified for next year's England team, along with Simon Robinson, me and Richard Cobbledick)... Bring on the Taff next July!

I returned from hosting a trip to Poland's majestic San River about 5 weeks ago and still can't stop thinking about the place. Seven of us made the journey and the fishing was nothing short of sensational. On the best days we were landing upwards of 100 fish, mainly grayling, and some very big ones indeed. My best for the week went 46cm - a beauty - but nothing special for this incredible river. I will definitely be returning next season.
