Saturday the 1st March saw Friars Carse Hotel
host their 1st Grayling Competition, given the recent weather
conditions it was always going to be difficult but luckily the river had
dropped back quite a bit and was starting to clear when the 8 anglers gathered
ready for the off.

Debbie Parke, Operations Manager for the Nith Catchment Fishery Trust was in attendance as they were using the event to get a feel for
what the grayling population was like and how well it was doing in the river.
Those anglers who felt comfortable doing it were asked to take scale samples and
length measurements of any fish caught.

Hopefully this fun and friendly competition is just the first of many that the hotel runs.
Wendy Gibson spent endless hours showing people the art of fly tying and never ceased to amaze us with her skills.
Back home this week and off for some single and double handed practice before heading back up to the hotel first thing Monday fishing for 4 days here's hoping that the river is in better sorts and maybe even some salmon are about. May even try Drumlanrig Castle beats whilst I'm there.
Tight Lines for the coming week.
