Nice fish to catch...especially on a small gold head fly.

The Grayling would be a fresh water river fish and not really seen in estuaries.

I would be more inclined to think they were grey mullet as they frequent estuaries and swim about in shoals. Quite difficult to catch as they don't take baits to readily. They can be caught on the fly and I do know a guy who catches them after pre baiting with bread flake and drifting a Bread fly over the shoal.

I've caught mullet on the fly, a good fight and a good meal. (but bass fight more and taste better!)

The dorsal fin's far too small for a grayling. Mullet.

Thin lip i think you will find, a nice piece of bread wrapped around the hook free line it and you will catch them all day. They are a lot easier to catch in the Med than here, I used to get buckets of them when i lived in Sardinia.

look like mullet
they quite like eating sewage and have rip off lips if one is not gentle once they are hooked
bit pasty to eat but ok in soup

grayling have a very sail like top fin and dont play in estuary water ,cold ,clean and well oxygenated fresh water is their manor ,a noble fish tastier and fightier than browns

landing a lip is wrong
