Novi, MI Posts: 2608 | Nice pics, you two! Beautiful day and beautiful fish...I've said it here before that the closest I've been to a Grayling is the one hanging on the wall of the Grayling, MI restaurant...:) Maybe when I head west this August I'll manage to hook a few. The mosquitoes here have been a bear this year as well... There are stories here from the 1800's when we still had Grayling in this state of anglers fishing three flies and hooking more than one fish at a time...Their fondness for the dry fly didn't serve them well here... Thanks! Spence | |

Fort St John, BC Posts: 1 | Great photos. I also love to fish for grayling and armed with a 3wt they are my very favorite small stream fish. Love their eager attitude towards the dries and as you mentioned, their feeding isn't slowed by a wonderful sunny day. I am really jealous of your day. My wife and I were up at one of our Grayling hotspots this weekend. We found abundant insects of all types, especially some very large stonefly nymphs that would have made some exciting fishing. Unfortunately, we also found the creek swollen beyond its banks and chocolate milk colored, no fish. Maybe in a couple of weeks................ | |

Posts: 1 | Their fondness for the dry fly didn't serve them well here... not to argue but the overfishing is only a small part of why there are no longer any michigan graylings. Pollution destroyed their habitat, and just like cutthroats, they prefer clean clean water! awesome catch, hope one day to get up there! | |

Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611 | Wow Jason, I would say other than the mosquitoes (and Spence is right, they are bad here too) it looks like you live in freakin' Paradise! Such beautiful waters and beautiful fish, AND a wife who will not only tolerate but enjoy a day of fishing even though she has to wear one giant mosquito net! Lucky dog you...although I suppose the incredibly long winters make up for that... Jonathon P.S. Spence, as I always like to say, Grayling is the town named after the fish it killed! | |
No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||
