   Info regarding Grayling fishing on UCAPA controlled water ... "If someone has already bought an Annual Permit, to fish for trout, that Green permit will be valid for grayling until 14 March 2021. However, if someone buys the yellow one, currently available from the shops now, it will be valid until 14 March 2022. The genuine Grayling angler will get 2 winters for £55.00 with the summer between thrown in free. A bargain".

New tippet line ... I have been struggling over the last few months with the usual brands of tippet. I have been trying Climax 98 over the last couple of months and can say this has been the best tippet I have used. Not strength is excellent and turnover is also excellent. The 30m spools below I use for the Rainbow Trout fishing & the 9ft tapered leaders I use for the Brown Trout on the rivers Price wise the 9ft tapered leaders come in around £2.50 for a pack of 2 & the 30m spools come in around £3.99 per spool. Enjoy your fishing. Vid @ FishClyde
