MAKE YOUR OWN BRAIDED LOOPS: THERE are many ways of making loops at the end of a fly line, to which can be attached the backing at the rear end of the running line and the tapered leader at the business end.

"If we have healthy grayling populations, we tend to have healthy river systems."

The Grayling Society's new chair, Marnie Lovejoy, tells Pete Tyjas about learning to cast on the Rother, the catch return scheme where a blank day counts as much as a full net, and the Grayling Watchlist she wants to build for cleaner rivers.

Do you log your grayling catches, blanks and all?

Sold to the wife as a wholesome family investment. What he really wanted was two nights on an island.

Sean Afnán Morrissey paddled a 15ft inflatable into the loch of bays and found trout that cartwheeled across the surface. How far have you carried a boat for a fish?

They have given up hunting and taken to grazing, and it has changed how we fish for them.

Steve Cullen on why reservoir trout now cruise and pick off whatever is easiest, what sterile triploids have to do with it, and how to fish a washing line properly rather than habitually.

A size 16 took 12 large trout in an afternoon on the Mataura, and he moved to New Zealand.

Bob Wyatt on the parachute hackle, the Klinkhåmer and the old Grey Duster, and how they added up at the vice to the Deer Hair Emerger. Floatant on the wing only: the abdomen is meant to sink.

We release every fish we catch, then lose the same fish in nets nobody counts.

Hannah Rudd of the Angling Trust on salmon bycatch: more than 1,000 a year in the UK mackerel fishery alone, and sea-trout more exposed still. Her four remedies are not complicated. What would you fix first?

The awkward one is always the tube: long, loose and easily tangled.

A salmon angler carries tubes, Waddingtons, Intruders, singles, doubles and trebles, which asks more of a box than slotted foam gives. Rob Hardy picks five that handle the lot. What lives in yours?

Tied in a Wharfedale B&B in 1991, the night before the final. Never fished.

The Wharfe rose two feet the next day and ruined the match. Twenty-six years on, Bob Preston found three of those size 20s still in the box when lesser spurwings came off a Test tributary.
