jacobellis008 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 In about two weeks I will be moving to Slovakia for a whole year on a mission trip. There are rivers over there with trout and grayling. I was going to see what everyone thinks I should tie up before I leave. I've done a lot of trout fishing but I haven't done any fishing for grayling so I don't know much about it. Any input on what flies I should use would be much appreciated! -Jake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meeshka 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 Looks beautiful. I've always done really well on rising grayling with any kind of caddis immitation (#10 /12). My fav would be a Goddard, but elk hair caddis, or stimulators work just fine. I have caught them on small clousers (#10) but much better success if I can find them rising Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course that fly catches trout, look at the thing ! It gives me an idea for my peacock and hen soft hackles. I bet what is red would work in gold or real well in copper too. Some kind of bronze dubbing, even floss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
