Jack Hargreaves on Grayling
I have just set up a forum for grayling and who better to start it off than Jack Hargreaves, a lovely episode this one.

Re: Jack Hargreaves on Grayling
Jack Hargreaves, a great inspiration to me as a boy and beautiful Grayling, my favourite fish.
Thanks for that.
Thanks for that.

Re: Jack Hargreaves on Grayling
There is a quite brilliant section in "Fishing for a Year" by Jack who explains why Grayling shoal, why they sit much lower in the water than trout and why they twist when rising and miss a lot of flies when they rise.

Re: Jack Hargreaves on Grayling
There is also another Jack "OUT of TOWN" programme on Grayling when he fishes the Kennet - again he explains the nature of the Grayling rise.

Re: Jack Hargreaves on Grayling
I'm lucky here because I can walk to my nearest river next to my farm and catch Grayling as long as the river is not flooded. I can see the river from the farm drive.
