Well done.

Up here (when I used to fish for them) we used to average around 2 or 3
grayling to the pound in the Clyde, with an odd one to perhaps 2.5lbs tops.
The Earn average was far better than that, with 1 to 2lb fish being common
and an odd bigger one. The old Brit record was from the Isla (Tay tributory)
and was far bigger, can't remember its weight now, so with a bit of good
luck I could be in for a bit of fun?

Over 7 wasn't it?

Depends on the year but there's usually a 6oz-ish class growing on. I'd
call it a disappointing session that didn't turn up some bigger ones and 3lb
plus is always on the cards. When you used to have the old record we never
really thought about it but several over 4lb were caught by lads poaching
after school - and then the record was delisted and someone moved a bunch of
electrofished grayling into a local pond where the new 'record' was caught
before they died the next summer. If one of the estates would open the
middle water the really big fish would be available...

Cheerio,
