October is one of my favourite months for fishing, yes the Brown Trout is finished for the year but just as much fun is the Grayling! They will start to shoal up as the temperatures cool and sport can be frantic. Of course as Autumn wraps its tentacles around the year the weather can be very changeable and we can often get heavy rain. This can colour the rivers and bring them up some but that doe not deter me!
This pattern weighs in at 1g and works a treat for getting your flies down to the taking zone. I find it best on the point with one or two droppers above. Tracked back with a Euro nymphing approach will always ensure your flies are where they need to be.
Let me know in the comments if you will be chasing the ladies this year.
