PT Variants for Grayling

Here are 3 flies for grayling that I use  to fish in  Central and East Europe:

Orange Neck Pheasant Tail Variant – is popular all European Countries  like ( France, Spain, Italy,  Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro and Romania )

Orange Torax Pheasant Tail Variant is  popular in  Central Eastern Countries ( Czech and Slovack Republics, Poland and Romania )

Back Orange Phasant Tail Variant – is popular in Central Europe and Italy

…and  all of them ready for fishing

 

Quill Baetis

This fly is one of the best nymph for fishing grayling using french style of nymphing.

For fishing trout I recommend to apply a layer of UV Resin from Deer Creek. In this way the body will be indestructible.
