I pretty much exclusively use dry flies for grayling. Yesterday I caught a bunch on a Royal Wulff. I've also had excellent success with PMDs, Adams and the Elk Hair Caddis. I've also found they prefer darker flies. I tested the theory "bright day, bright fly. dark day, dark fly" yesterday, and although it was mostly sunny, my fish were caught on brown and olive patterns.
I also managed a very nice, nearly 2 pound grayling yesterday on an olive rabbit strip leech while probing a deep pool for bull trout.
