Arlington, VA/ Mercersburg, PA Posts: 653 | added two rivers to my Yorkshire life list: Ure and Nidd. trout season was over so we were after grayling. they seem to live in the bits of the river that the trout don't: quieter water at the tails of pools and the end of riffles, mostly. they like nymphs down on the bottom, but they can be caught with dries as well. if you would like the name of the guide and a link to his really great web-site, shoot me a PM. | |

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||
