Euro Nymph Fly Fishing and Float Fishing For Big Grayling - Scottish River Adventure

- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Hi everyone, in this episode I visit a favourite stretch on the river Nith in Dumfries and Galloway. This part of the river has certainly delivered the goods over the past few sessions with bumper catches of specimen grayling.
I have started using a new euro nymphing rod, which I am really impressed with, so much so that I will do a review on this euro nymphing rod, which should be uploaded very soon.
In the first half of the day, I concentrated on euro nymphing fly fishing, as I have tried and failed in the past to hook a good size grayling. Today was the day my perseverance payed off.
After flogging the river to a foam euro nymphing, I went onto trotting the float with maggots for bait, this method has been super successful in hooking into some big ladies of the stream over the last few weeks.
The last two hours of the day were really productive, which for me have been the same in previous visits here. Several big grayling came to the net and I lost a few too.
My trotting float setup with the centrepin reel has really been doing the business here and I thought I would take a bit of extra time in the video to explain to you guys how I use it and the way it is setup.

Fantastic video, I’ve really enjoyed this wee Nith Grayling series, I enjoy that you talk about your set up and techniques, really does help us less experienced anglers.
Thanks Tom, very much appreciated mate. If you can think of anything else that would make the viewing better from a beginners perspective let me know an I can add it into future videos. Thanks again for commenting and watching
Another cracking video really enjoyed watching brill !!!!

greath video Douglas fantastic to see the grayling.
and love your explanations over the fishing on the specimens in your area
i love it to see🤙👍
Thanks for your feedback and enjoyed the videos. Very much appreciated👍
thanks Douglas for replying
Well done on persevering with the nymphs. Almost convinced me to get the fly rod back out.... Almost!
Cheers Alex, like you said it’s a conference thing, I only tried again because I hooked and lost a fish in the previous week which gave me the confidence to keep trying. It is hard to stop using a method that is so effective (trotting) especially when you have a personal ambition for the holy grailing 3lb+ fish.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing I like what you did there.
Really enjoyed that mate, although I watched it through my fingers saying, "That better no be a 3lber" 🤣
Cheers pal, aye a couple of fat ladies this time, very deceiving for the size👍
Brilliantly done Douglas ,, I’ve watched all 3 vids,, & never seen you fish bottom of beat yet,, can be good Bro.!! Where burn runs in, pool just above💪👌
Cheers Scott, thanks for watching all 3 vids. I tried there yesterday nothing. I’m sure it will produce fish but the whole beat was poor yesterday. I think it needs a good bit rain to freshen it up. The grayling need a bit of flow to burn off some energy after gorging themselves on maggots all weekend.😂
Another fantastic video Douglas. Your channel has been an inspiration during the winter months.
Thank you sir, much appreciated👍
Great days fishing one of the best looking fish one can catch, the lady of the stream, and good sized grayling at that, fished a few places on the Clyde and a couple of tributary's, caught a good few just a much smaller average size, though there have been fish in the upper 3lb bracket caught in the upper Clyde.
Yes they are stunning mate. I’ve yet to try the Clyde, it’s on my list to do😂 thanks for watching G, very much appreciated👍
Great angling, looking forward to the euro nymph rod review. Quality video. 👍
Thanks Phil, review should be out soon
Hi never caught a grayling.... I caught a seal on Loch Long with an aid of a mackerel.
There is something magical about getting a fish as it gets dark (for me) and spooky!
ATB.
Cheers Berti, sea trout fishing at night is also magical. As much as I like night fishing, it’s the video footage that suffers unfortunately.
Great video. Any part of the nith you would recommend? Never fished it before and planning a trip down next Saturday. See it has lots of different beats ranging from couple hundred meter to miles.
Cheers Stuart. Can you PM me on fb, Douglas Heron
Euronymphing appears to me to trotting a nymph downstream. Is it possible to trot a nymph under a float with a float and catch fish. Ive never heard of anyone doing it.
You certainly can and it does work. You can still have a maggot on the bottom but you can tie on a short dropper onto your swivel, use something like an unweighted pheasant tail or hares ear.
