Description In this film, Oliver Edwards starts by search fishing for trout and grayling on a stretch of the Upper Avon which Frank Sawyer keepered. He then goes to the crystal clear waters of the Lambourn, sight fishing for trout and grayling using the famous Pheasant Tail Nymph. “You can obviously catch fish without any knowledge of entomology whatsoever, but to be consistently successful, particularly when after wild brown trout and grayling, having some understanding of aquatic insects is a definite advantage – an Essential Skill. You don’t have to take a degree course in entomology, all you need is an interest, an enquiring mind, a good pair of eyes and a few good books or videos.” Freshwater shrimps are a preferred food for trout and grayling, and in alkaline waters, such as the English chalk streams, they can be found in truly biblical numbers. For those deep hatch pools with powerful swirling currents something heavy is required. Oliver demonstrates how to fish a heavily weighted shrimp in the fast complex currents of a hatchpool.
