But between all the things I needed to do, I managed to slip away for an hour and swing some nymphs for grayling. To maximize my time at the water, I did not bother to take my polarized glasses or my waders, but wearing my casual jeans and all, I just grabbed my rod and backpack.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312469.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[3778]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3780 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312469-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312469-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312469-768x513.jpg 768w, http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312469-1024x684.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312469.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>At the water, I wasn&#8217;t suspecting much. The weather had changed, the water was slightly foggy and I did not see any fish. So I casted blind into some riffles, between weedbeds and alongside overhanging banks. I changed the nymph and the depth, had the nymph sink and rise and tried all sorts of variations.<\/p>\n<p>And then the bite came. It was a dynamic take like I am used rather from trouts. The fish also fought like a trout, and was very strong. When I finally saw the sail on its back, and realized that it is a grayling, I admired the power of this fish. Never in my memory had a grayling fought this hard&#8230; but without polarized lenses and in murky water, I saw the fish not very well and it did not seem remarkably big at first. Only when I had it in front of my net, did I realize what a giant this was! And before I had the time to become nervous, the fish was in the net!<\/p>\n<p>The grayling measured 57cm (22.5 in) and is the biggest one I ever caught! What a beautiful beast!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3779\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3779\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312423.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[3778]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3779\" src=\"http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312423-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312423-1024x684.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312423-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312423-768x513.jpg 768w, http:\/\/troutfishing-germany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/PA312423.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3779\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">grayling with 57cm (22.5in)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you can be just lucky, sometimes the stars align, sometimes it all works out&#8230; and you catch the fish of a lifetime without warning!
