Grayling Fishing

Grayling fishing is one of the great delights of autumn as both an excuse to extend the season just that little bit longer and pit your wits against a fish with subtly different habits to trout.

With sixteen beats across ten rivers in six counties the Fishing Breaks range is second to none with the season running from October through to February. Enjoy a taste of what to expect by watching this beautiful short film fishing shot by CHALK directors Leo Cincolo and Chris Cooper at Bullington Manor.

 

As an added treat make a winter break of it on the River Itchen with a  3 or 7 night stay at the Lock Keepers Cottage with unlimited grayling fishing just a few steps away from your front door and with a warming log burning stove to return to at the end of the day.

If you are unfamiliar with how to fish for grayling, or simply need a bit of a refresher, our guide/instructor Bob Preston, who has a passion for all things grayling, will be hosting the One Day Grayling Course in October. It is a must for anyone interested in mastering the specialised techniques for successful grayling fishing in all conditions.
