Grayling other wise known as the lady of the stream are a truly beautiful fish and a member of the trout family. One of the things I've started doing is trying to capture fish behaviour in this case males competing for the prime position and females.
This grayling bumped into the camera a few times! normally they can be quite a shy fish
This male had chased all others away and stayed in this area for a while

Not to far away in Cromford Canal there are good numbers of pike
I was a bit unsure what they eat as the only other fish i saw was a brown trout which was actually bigger then the pike and attacked them!
The pike seemed to be gathering for breeding and the pike in the canal also seemed a bit smaller then there river cousins likely because of habitat size and food availability.
Hints -
- Take it slowly the fish are very spooky!
- Visibility is everything and you need it to get the clear shots
- Make sure you wash off after as there are plenty of nasty diseases in rivers like weils disease
