grilse

They are now promoted to the name of grilse, and attain the rank of salmon on their second and all subsequent migrations.

All my line had been taken out, the gut collar had been snapped, and the fly had undoubtedly been carried off by the grilse.

I then stopped, and, lengthening my line at each successive “throw,” sent my fly nearer and still nearer to the grilse.

But there was still a grilse that rose to a big March brown in the shrunken stream below Elibank.

In this way not only are large trout often taken in a flood, but sea trout, grilse, and sometimes salmon.
