This year has been a real hit and miss affair with stories filtering in to our shops and online of bleak catches of mackerel but at the same time anglers saying they have had a bonus year so far on the rivers catching salmon and grilse. Anglers have been fishing on some of the beaches on the east coast and have been catching smoothhounds and plenty of dogs whilst on the west coast a lot of rays of different species have been landed to shore anglers.
The set up you need for summer grilse fishing would be a nice switch rod like our Orvis Clearwater Range. Don't forget to add the Short Head Scandi and Tips which is advertised on this link allowing you to buy for just an extra £40.00 when purchasing a Clearwater Switch Rod.
