Learn about and practice grayling fishing at East Lodge on the River Itchen near Winchester with Gilly Bate, celebrated fishing guide and casting instructor and Nick Measham, WildFish’s CEO – both of whom are fully qualified AAPGAI instructors who can help with casting issues too.

Gilly and Nick will discuss grayling habitat and their behaviour. They will explain and demonstrate:

  • What rod, line and leader set-ups to use
  • Fly and nymph selection.

Then you will fish for them with Gilly and Nick on hand to help.

  • Rod hire if required

During the lunch break, Gilly and Nick will welcome questions about any aspect of fishing – and Nick will talk about the wonderful work WildFish does to protect our fish and rivers.
