Ep 16: Arctic Grayling on the fly! Back at Joe Wright!

[@westoangling]

Thanks for the video. I’m trying to learn as much as I can before I make the trip up there in mid august. Hopefully I can hook into my first grayling!

@@westoangling Thank you for the comment! The key is light line and small presentation. The water is clear, but they are easy to catch with small baits and small flies. I love the double nymph rig on the fly rod with a strike indicator with two nymphs size 18 or so. If you see rising fish switch to dries and if you can’t figure what they are taking on the surface throw a wet fly to the rise! They will take it! If there’s a chop on the water with some wind you will do best …..if there’s no chop make sure to twitch the flies

@@westoangling oh also the hook set is a feel thing….it is a lighter hook set compared to trout since their mouths are so soft

@@FishOnwithCoachSteve awesome, thanks for the tips! Can’t wait for it, will explore as much water as I can while there but most excited for the chance to catch these guys!

@@westoangling go crush it! I keep things simple on this channel….its not rocket science to catch what is a bucket list fish for many!
