This is a fully updated and revised edition of John Roberts' earlier book - Flyfishing for Grayling. It includes chapters on Food, Dry-Fly Fishing and The Subsurface Fly and a comprehensive, fully illustrated list of over 130 grayling flies described in detail. In the last 20 years there have been new techniques and methods and a multitude of specialist grayling flies that have enabled more and bigger grayling to be caught more frequently. This book explains just why that is and how best to maximise the opportunities for catching grayling on the fly. Whether your preference is the challenge of tiny dry flies, or to fish traditional North Country spiders, or tungsten-beaded bugs, shrimps and bugs close to the riverbed, John Roberts brings the literature of flyfishing for grayling fully up to date.
