Never heard of any grayling in the Calder, BG, but they could be there.

The Avon at Hamilton used to be quite reliable for grayling and there were decent numbers around Stonehouse too. I'd say the Clyde is a safer bet though.

A bit limited , but yes, the grayling are there. Dalserf and Mauldslie/Rosebank and Crossford are all decent areas on the lower river.

Dalserf is the first turning on the left (heading from the Garrion toward Crossford) after the Garrion bridge, before you get to Mauldslie estate. Turn left onto Kirk road, park at the church car park and the river is across the fields from you.

Weighted nymphs in various colours should do fine.
