John do you still catch massive grayling at Doveridge?, over 20 years ago when I used to fish there a lot all you could catch was big chub or big ‘ladies of the stream’, that was pre Barbel days, are they the main quarry now ?
I remember my mate having a right angry exchange with a bloke there while we were having a walk up and down the Albert stretch seeing what was going on.
This bloke replied when we enquired had he had owt “had a couple of big grayling, I’ll show them to you”, instead of going into his keep net as I expected he lifted his fishing box lid and brought out the biggest 2 grayling I had ever and still have ever seen, but he had knocked them on the head to take home to eat, they were both well over 2lb quite possibly 3lb.
Now I am not one who would pull anyone up for taking a pot fish, but it just seemed tragic to kill two specimens like these, my mate just blew his top, I thought he was going to kill the fellow.
