Hi Tony,

that sounds like a lovely trip. She’s a magical river on her day.

As for ‘educated’..well they are Scottish trout after all!

Yes, mostly Hen Blackie, Teal and Black, Greenwell Spider, Starling Tip and Cran Swallow.

Had a great time. Trout seemed more “educated” than the Welsh Dee, but eventually got the hang of it.

Hi Tony,

I’ve encountered damaged grayling on the Clyde before as a matter of fact, as well as trout. Seems to be more and more par for the course on our inland waters.

I’m glad you enjoyed the Clyde, she can be a difficult beast..! Did you fish clyde style/spiders mostly then?

Beautiful grayling, in great condition too. I have noticed several damaged grayling on the Welsh Dee with cuts and lacerations on their sides – the effect of cormorants and mergansers I think.

Just got back from 4 great days on the Upper Clyde, so busy replenishing my stock of Clyde style flies.
