greyling
hi guys
im looking for some help as i want to get my fishing career started. i don't know anyone else who's into it so i can't learn from anyone and have been trying to teach myself but its not working . i've been inspired by the book "how to fish" by chris yates and have decided to start fishing by learning to catch one type of fish at a time and i've decided to start with greyling. there is a spot of river near me which i've heard has greyling and that october and november are the best months for the greyling. but i feel there is so much to learn and don't know where to start. i need some help with the basics. how do i know how much weight my line needs etc? what rod or reel, and what parts of the river are they most likely to be in. this river has steap and shallow parts, parts where the water runs fast and parts where it is near enough still. i would prefer to be using a float rod rather than fly fishing. could someone please help me get started. would appreciate some advice guys. thanks for taking time to read this.

Not my field this but what i do know is that you need light gear....Fly rods are the ones to use mainly but i see reason why a nice waggler rod might not be just as good.
What you need to look for is insect life on the River because this is what the Grayling feed on,maybe a stick float might do well because you need to catch on the surface or on the drop,if you have flies then try using one of those on the line as i said it needs to be very light,all of this is a little bit against the rule book so to speak because fly rods are used for this kind of fishing,the problem i see with this is your casting to the distance they are at but as i said it is not my field of fishing sorry!

WOW Grayling can be the easiest fish and the hardest fish to catch they usually swim in shoals so once you get one the rest are off and running but not always they will take maggot or fly I fish for them on one of my local rivers where the angling body classes them as course fish (even though they have the adipose fish of the trout family -- it's that they breed with the course fish) I usually fish either small feeder or trotting float hooklengths of 4lb but finest line I can get once hooked they are strong fighters even a little one will fight hard especially if they get into the fast current turn sideways and stick that big dorsal fin up My PB is 3lb BTW Grayling don't reach sexual maturity until they are 3 years old so even though they are a really good eating fish don't take anything under 2lb for the pan if you are allowed to

I get all sorts on when I'm grayling fishing including Trout Chub Perch I fish the Derbyshire Derwent South of Matlock and it has some really good Grayling runs Look for an area of flowing water with some eddy pools and fish the running bit between the eddies or the main flow Grayling do like fast water far more than the lazy trout who tend to sit in the eddies waiting for food to slip into it
