Maybe this is a dumb question but did you bring your own gear or do
they supply the rods reels ect inquirying minds want to know

I brought my own 7 wt stick with floating and sinking lines. However, after
seeing four rods broken on fish, I started to use their rods - 8 wts for
rainbows and salmon, and 6 wts for Dollies. They were Orvis Trident mid-flex 9
foot rods, with Battenkill large arbor reels.

If I go up again to this lodge, I won't bring a rod. I couldn't get my 4 piece
Sage XP 7 wt through security at Logan Airport. "The tube could be used as a
weapon," whined the guy running security. When I arrived in Salt Lake to
transfer to a flight to Anchorage, there were *hundreds* of terrorists running
around with tube weapons. Why, I barely escaped with my life. Some of these
terrorists had longer tubes than mine; I felt..... inadequate. d;o)

That's interesting. I find the smell pleasant and also really like the
flavor of them cooked.

FWIW and IIRC, the genus name for grayling is "thymallus", and
they're named that because they supposedly smell like the herb thyme.
