Hundreds of grayling, dependant on the grayling "cycle" of course.Thanks for that heads up, I’ve just watched it on catch up, excellent television.
I noticed my wife watching with some interest, so I’m now surreptitiously researching the brown trout possibilities.......never realised there were grayling in the Tay.
