[edeltrouts]

Hi all,
Didn't post a lot this year. But work an family needed my full attention.
Thank you all for the many wonderful posts. Always like to see what happens around the (trout)world.
At the last day of the trout season in my region I had a few funny hours with a buddy and a good last fish.

Hi Thomas; Thank you for taking me on a nice fishing trip. The water looks really good and I bet the casting was a bit of a challenge at times with all those fly grabbing branches both in front and behind. Looking at the fish caught the effort was well worth it.

I am also impressed with the big nippers on fresh water Cray/Lobster. I bet he could bring a tear to ones eye if he got hold of one of your fingers from the way he is giving the brim of that hat a work out.

I enjoyed the trip and hope you have many more when your waters open up again for the new season. Have Fun. Jax

Nice Brown; nice Grayling. Your mentioning Grayling provides me with the opportunity to ask a question.

First, a brief background:
We have Grayling here in the US, but their habitat has been really decimated. Michigan had them, but not longer does as far as I know. There are some streams and lakes that hold Grayling in the Western States like Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. But even in those states, their range has also been reduced.

But, I when I read article about fishing in Europe including the British Isles, Grayling are mentioned quiet frequently.

Now, as I understand it, Grayling require pure or high quality water. In Europe you have higher human population densities than here in the USA, yet your streams are quiet capable of providing suitable habitat for Grayling.

The question:
So what are you doing right and what are we doing wrong?
