Grayling Help

[Dave]

Hi,

I grew up in the east flyfishing for trout. I now live in northern Alberta
where there are few good flyfishing waters. A lot of my fishing now is after
pike and some walleye (yes, pike are a lot of fun on the flyrod!!!) but I
tend you use big tackle with a spinning rod and chase the big guys.

This spring my friend and I have booked a fly-in trip after lakers, pike,
walleye, and grayling. I have never fished grayling before, let alone with
the flyrod. I am clueless as to fly choice and techniques.

Any help out there????

we have them up here in Alaska ,`very taste fun fish , with distentive
features , I've taken them on small dry flys and wet flies. mosquoto
patterns , caddis flys , just about anything .. depending on where your
fishing lakes or creeks or rivers ...

I think they are better than trout ... at least they tast better to me..

Totally agree w/taste! Wonderful!
as for a fly, I have had excellent luck with most anything white-ish, but
what I had the most luck with is a size 12, white front hackle, rear brown
hackle, same size and a peacock herl body. Forgotten the name..... sorry.
Also... don't horse them in... they have VERY soft mouths..

Have fun!!
