Synopsis
This is a completely revised expanded and updated edition of the standard work on grayling edited by the President of the Grayling Society. Ronald Broughton brings a new approach to his subject and gives the fish the importance it has long deserved. Commencing with an informative chapter on the origins and present distribution of grayling, this book then deals with the occurrence of this fish in chalk streams, stillwaters and rivers and describes grayling hotspots around the world. Fly dressings and fly-fishing techniques throughout the areas holding grayling are also described. The technique of the Polish nymph is explained and the surprisingly ancient history of the gold-head is revealed. It also covers bait-fishing and the changes in equipment over the years. Acknowledged experts from every corner of the globe have contributed advice on method, tactics and tackle together with fascinating personal anecdotes.

Comprehensively illustrated in colour, and black and white, and supplemented with a list of useful addresses for the travelling angler, this classic work will, in its new and enlarged form, prove indispensable to those who wish to know all about grayling, justifiably described as the fourth game fish.

Customer Reviews

This really is the complete book of the Grayling
I am someone who spends as much time as possible fishing for the various species of fish in UK waters, perhaps one of the most enjoyable fish to catch is the Grayling with it's strange backward fight and cucumber smell.

Grayling are often found in beautiful locations such as the chalk streams in Hampshire or Wiltshire and several Yorkshire rivers. they can also be caught using a wide verity of methods from the Fly to trotting a float down a stream using a centre pin reel.

Many anglers I have spoken to would love to catch a Grayling but don't know how to go about it, well if you buy this book you will find out all you need to know, from it's biology, habitat to fishing methods it's all there.

The book is well written and has some good photos, however some may find there is too much detail, but after all it is The Complete Book Of The Grayling!
