Decided to head off down the Tweed today for a final day of fishing for the Lady of the Stream- the Grayling. There is no formal Grayling open or closed season in Scotland- unlike England, but the Peebleshire Trout Fishing Association request not targetting them from 1st April through to end of June, their breeding season. The Trout fishing does not start formally on the Tweed until 1st April either.

I was fishing the Peebleshire Trout Fishing Association waters at Walkerburn, and I never had a lot of success. The section is easy to access and you can park adjacent to the bridge on the North bank. The water was crystal clear and not too cold and I really thought I was in for a chance. There were a couple of Herons about and the lower part of the run I fished was moving with Salmon. Weather was fair initially but a sharp downstream wind got up at the back of lunchtime which made casting a bit difficult with heavy bugs, and then the rain came on for a good wee while too.
