Arctic Grayling
Aerial acrobatics abound amidst the rushing river rapids. The Arctic Grayling are on the fly, running upstream to pick off whatever insect they can devour— whatever minnow they can inhale. Little do they know your bluetail streamer is lurking... and they’re about to go ballistic.
Like all trout, Canada's Arctic Grayling prefer moving water, and feed with the current, which you find through the inlets of Nueltin Lake. Active fish will be found near rapids, lying in ambush positions behind rocks or in the slack water near eddies and current breaks. Cast upstream and work the lure back with the current through these fish-holding hotspots, and you’ll get a taste of some of the most exciting fishing on the continent.
