For us in Bavaria, grayling is traditionally a fish that is best fished in late summer and autumn. At these times of year the rivers are usually low and clear. In larger bodies of water such as the Isar, Lech, Inn, Salzach and their tributaries, the fish can now be easily reached with artificial flies. The classic way to fish for grayling is fly fishing with a nymph. The background is that grayling prefer to feed close to the bottom.
However, it is sometimes possible to outwit large grayling with dry flies. This is considered an absolute highlight. In this report we would like to give you the basics for successful fly fishing for grayling with both dry flies and nymphs.
Background knowledge of grayling food intake
From the anatomy of the fish, grayling have a lower, soft mouth. This means you consume over 90% of your food directly near the bottom of the water. The diet includes larvae of mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies - basically they feed a lot of nymphs. Stream amphipods are also certainly a favorite dish. And as we know from books from the 70s and 80s, large grayling also eat breeding fish. So they are very versatile when it comes to food intake.

R8 Core Fly Rod
SAGE R8 Core Fly Rods - the revolution MADE TO FISH NOT TO CAST R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we're seeing out on the water - where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 Core traces a direct lineage to Sage's multi-application / fast action vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target. Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8'6" to 10'0", there's sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler. R8 Technology The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables us to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a more sensitive tip and more connected feel. The secret is twofold. First, a proprietary aerospace composite with a greater hoop strength enables us to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while a nano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows us to pack more fiber into the blank, resulting in that true two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control. Revolution 8 Technology Silver Pine blank color Slate primary thread wraps with graduated White and Grey trim Fuji ceramic stripper guides with hard chromed snake guides and tip-top Laser etched line weight on slide band Black rod bag with new quick-tie cord lock for faster, easier, and cleaner storage Aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion 3WT - 6WT Premium Flor grade snub-nose half-wells cork handle Sustainable Ziricote wood insert with anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat 5WT - 9WT Premium Flor grade full-wells cork handle with cork/EVA fighting buttGunmetal anodized aluminum up-locking reel seatIntegrated hidden hook keeper in reel seatA fast action provides the capability to stay tight to the line and in control of the presentation, while the high line speed drives a tight loop that assists in laser accuracy in technical dry fly situations. With ability to handle dry fly lines with long heads, increasing loop control when carrying long lengths and making precise casts to rising fish, all while making it easier to turn over long leaders for technical feeders at range. Nymphing With a sensitive tip section to protect light tippets, a versatile balance between lifting power and delicacy provides perfect synergy for nymph fishing. A very effective tool for anglers that fish nymphs and indicators wading or out of a boat. With a combination of power and feel,R8 Core allows for intuitively better cast timing, easier line lifts and sharp, precise mends leading to faster reaction times when setting the hook. Streamers A powerful butt section easily throws a wide range of streamers and accommodates a full lineup of sinking tip lines while also quickly pulling aggressive fish out of structure for increased landing success. The powerful butt section of the R8 CORE provides stability, connectedness, and power to rock and fire those one-shot casts. With feel that extends to the smallest dry flies, R8 provides the touch to deliver efficient mends with intention and precision. Setting From subtle sips to streamer strikes, the amplified sensitivity of R8 enables fine nibble feel that triggers instant, instinctual reaction for trout sets or strip sets. FISH FIGHTING With a fish on, R8’s fusion of stronger backbone yet greater feel enables you to control your fish, even from tough structure, with touch and care.

The right fly reel for grayling
It should be a fly reel with good to very good drag and have a large core spool. In particular, the gentle and soft start of the brake is extremely important! Here too, the fine tippets must be taken into account. If the start of the drag is jerky or too strong, a 0.12 leader tip will quickly tear off and the fish will be lost with the fly. This must be avoided at all costs.

Fly Leaders for Grayling
It is especially important to be particularly careful around the water during low tides in autumn. When successfully fishing for grayling, it has been shown time and again that long leaders (from 3 to 5 meters long) with thin leader tips (less than 0.16 mm leader tip) lead to success. Especially if a fish refuses to take the nymph, you should reduce the diameter of the leader tip or even use a fluorocarbon leader. Please always remember to have enough leader material to be able to renew your leader tips.
For particularly good rolling behavior and direct contact with the fish, we recommend the “Grayling Special” leader with a built-in leader ring.
As a standard leader, you can use tapered leaders in nylon or fluorocarbon. For the 9 foot (275cm) leaders, you should tie in a leader ring and extend the leader with leader tippet material. To get started with nymph fishing, we recommend the full function leader with integrated bite indicator.
Grayling Special Leader (with Loop)
You will have noticed that longer finer leaders and light tippets are necessary when dry fly fishing for wary species, such as Grayling, on clear days. This induced us to develope the Grayling Special Leader.By precisely balancing the seperate sections of the Grayling Special we have produced a very accurate leader with excellent turn over qualities. It doesn‘t matter if you fish with small dry flies or the smallest midges, with the Grayling Special you will notice the difference. The shock absorbing section in the butt part of the leader is a cushion against breaking very fine tippets. You can of course use this leader for wary Trout as well. Emergers and weighted nymphs that do not have to be fished too deeply also pose no problem for the Grayling Special. Length: 305 cm (10 ft)Tippet diameter: 0,14 mmConnection: Loop-to-Loop The TRAUN RIVER Full Function Leaders are characterized by the following features: Extremely versatile Handmade from high quality nylon Outstanding stretching and rolling properties through progressive taping Durable and sturdy With loop connection to the flying line With integrated rip-off ring that allows quick replacement of the leader material at the tip regardless of its diameter Well balanced All braided TRAUN RIVER leaders have an elegant loop at the end for easy connection with the fly line. In addition, each of these leaders is equipped with a leader ring, or nylon loop on Dry Fly 8ft. As a result, the leader strength can be varied and the leader material can be renewed.
Trout Special Leader (with Loop)
A continual meditation on improvement possibilities for tried and tested products is one of our basic skills. Even when fishing we see it as our duty to spend some of that time cosidering the question - What can we improve on? This is how the Trout Special and the Grayling Special leaders came to be. The Trout Special Leader with its 290 cm avoids scaring spooky fish by keeping the shadow of the fly line as far as possible from the quarry.

CDC Diptera
Die Zahl der bis heute bekannten Zweiflügler wird weltweit mit ca. 80.000 Arten angegeben. Allein die für uns interessanten Arten, deren Larvenentwicklung im Wasser stattfindet, geht in die Tausende. Von all diesen sind die Zuckmücken (Chironomidae) und die Kriebelmücken (Simuliidae) die mit Abstand wichtigsten Familien. Während aber die Kriebelmückenlarven auf Fließwasser mit schneller Strömung angewiesen sind, leben die Zuckmückenlarven in allen nur denkbaren Gewässern. Sie leben in Bächen, Flüssen, Teichen und Seen und kommen noch in den extremsten Lebensräumen vor. Sie sind in Sturzbächen, nur zeitweise wassergefüllten Lachen, verschmutzten Tümpeln, übersäuerten, wie stark alkalischen Gewässern zu finden. Ihr Wert als Fischnahrung wird allgemein unterschätzt. Er macht in vielen Wassern, vom Frühjahr bis in den Herbst, einen bedeutenden Anteil, wenn nicht die Hauptnahrung der Geschuppten aus. Trotz ihrer vielen Arten bieten die Zuck- und Kriebelmücken ein ziemlich einheitliches Bild. Sie sind mittelgroß bis sehr klein und vorwiegend düster gefärbt. Man kann sie mit sehr wenigen Fliegentypen imitatorisch abdecken. Die CDC-Diptera ist solch ein Gruppenmuster: Dunkler, konisch verjüngt bis in den Hakenbogenansatz reichender Körper, zarte Organzafibern in V-Form als Flügel und herkömmlicher CDC-Hechelfiberkranz ergeben eine Top- Midge. Gefischt wird die CDC-Diptera an feinem, ihrer geringen Größe entsprechenden Vorfach trocken oder im Film. Beim Zuckmückenschlupf kann sie, dicht unter der Oberfläche angeboten, manchmal unschlagbar sein.

CDC Grayling Stillborn
Sonnenschein und helles Wasser - helle Fliege. Bedeckter Himmel und dunkles Wasser - dunkle Fliege. Eine "Grundregel" aus der Lachsfischerei, die Ihnen sicherlich bekannt vorkommt. Doch konnte ich die Wirksamkeitdieses Leitsatzes längst auch beim Fischen auf andere Salmoniden machen. Auslöser über diese gewiß an unzähligen Lachsfischertagen empirisch gewonnene Erkenntnis nachzudenken, war ein Erlebnis an einem glasklarenÄschenfluß: Nachdem ich fast eine Stunde lang auf eine Äsche im knietiefen Wasser meine sämtlichen "Geheimfliegen" ausprobiert hatte, kam mir die alte Lachsfischerregel in den Sinn. Als letzte Hoffnung - eher skeptisch -versuchte ich eine Stillborn-Variante mit glitzerndem Silberkörper. Der Fisch kam beim ersten Service! Sind es Lichteffekte im Oberflächenfilm, die dieser Glitzer-Stillborn bei hochstehender Sonne eine besondereAnziehung verleihen? Das ist zu vermuten. Jedenfalls erweist sich diese Stillborn-Variante unter solchen Bedingungen als äußerst wirksam. Übrigens nicht nur auf Äschen! Gefischt wird die Grayling-Stillborn, genauso wie das Standard-Muster, d.h. ruhig abtreigend oder mit gelegentlichen kleinen Bewegungen.

On our own behalf
Unfortunately, grayling populations are still threatened in many waters.
Unfortunately, there is no improvement in sight. Rather the opposite...
In this respect, we very much welcome it if you set your personal conservation limit well above the legal conservation limit or, better yet, refrain from taking grayling in order to give them a chance to reproduce.
The future generations of fly fishers will thank you!!!
