EARLY WINTER GRAYLING on the Stick & Pin - Dec 2022

Join me on the banks of the River Don in Sheffield on a cold day fishing for the Lady of the stream the Grayling.....
Using simple stick float trotting tactics I managed to hook some lovely fish including a few Brown Trout too. The fish were in top condition & despite my legs & feet feeling numb after standing in the River for 3 hours I had a very enjoyable session.
Thanks for tuning in again folks & Merry Christmas
All the best YRR.

Pete what would you say is the ideal river level love the grayling vlogs keep em coming mate

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Hi Ian, good question that... I found on the Don that if the water is really cold n moving fast they prefer deeper water around 4ft... but if the flow is steady n clear they will be happy in 2-3ft of water even if its really cold too... what do u think is best? I'm still learning & trying to find areas with bigger fish.. loads of spots to fish in Sheffield area ain't they 😀, thanks for watching pal 👍🎣

[@barbcoll100]

Yes there are loads of good fishing in sheffield you’re doing something right you always come up with the results

Top bombing Pete, was on that last swim just before cold snap, had 8 out in an hour to 1lb 6oz. Dodgy knee didn't like the climb up or down! Tight lines and merry xmas

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Cheers pal, that's good going mate, nice fish that 1lb6oz 👍👍, my best is 1lb3oz so far... all the best fella n merry Xmas to you n the family 👍🍺🍺🍺🎣

[@Lezduit88]

@@yorkshireriverrover7199 cheers mate, my pb is 1lb 8oz out of the upper Witham, thought I was close hence weighing it. It's mad sat or stood there surrounded by industry bagging up given how the Don used to be.

[@marcharley6465]

I must find a stretch of river near me which holds grayling. Such a beautiful fish and stick and pin is a really enjoyable way to catch them.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

It sure is great sport on the Pin Marc 😃, where abouts are u in the country? I'm Lucky as they are in most Yorkshire Rivers & seem to be thriving... thanks for watching pal 👍🎣

[@marcharley6465]

@@yorkshireriverrover7199 I live just outside of Leeds and the nearest river to me is the Aire. I haven't heard of any grayling being caught in my local stretch but I suppose I won't really know until I give it a try.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

@@marcharley6465 it's a good area to live pal, the Ure n Wharfe have loads of Grayling in maybe the upper Nidd too.... get on em mate , all the best out there 👍🎣🍺

Nice video Pete .Welldone braving the cold for a craving few hours fishing. Had 3 hours stood in the Trent yesterday didn’t catch,but as they say nothing ventured nothing gained. Fancied trying the Don but wouldn’t no where to park my car. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year

When i saw you walk solo down that walk way, it made me sad. It was like Dave had passed away, im really glad you explained about my car problems that keep getting worse and worse 😢 . Love the trout jumps pal. Im so gutted im missing so much bank side action especially our seasonal grayling sessions. Hopefully get christmas out the way and we can have a few catchup sessions 🌪️🚗🐟🐠🦈🐋
