Euro nymphing for grayling on the Welsh Dee

I kicked off February with a grayling fishing trip on the Welsh Dee at Llangollen. The river was dropping back to its summer level and this allowed me to fish Llangollen-Maelor's upper beat. In the absence of rising fish, I spent the afternoon chasing grayling using a euro nymphing set-up.

Hi Andrew, I think this is one of your best videos. I really like the fact that you explained your rig set up, the leader and the flies and what's more showed them in good detail. I just hope the fish remain in numbers when I am on the pairs match. One of my pals was there a couple of weeks ago and was fishing really heavy tungsten bodies and beads and had 15.

Hi Iain, thank you for the feedback. I've been applying the suggestions you have made in the past. The river is back close to its summer level but the water is cold. So you have to get down to the riverbed where the grayling are feeding at the moment. They are shoaled up at the moment and will be that way until the spawn in April. So if you find a shoal you should have a good day. Cheers, Andrew

Hi Andrew, loved this video. I'm heading over before Christmas to hopefully fish for Grayling. We have no Grayling in Ireland so this will be my first time fishing for them. Just wondering if you have any tips on set ups, suggested patterns for that time of year.
