Arctic Grayling

jacenbeers · #1 04-20-2010, 09:15 PM

Catching a grayling is on my 2010 fishing bucket list and I live in Calgary. Where should I go around here to find one? I heard that there is a good place near Canmore. Any thoughts?

I know that you can catch them at wedge pond. They are stocked there.

I think the lake near Canmore is Quarry. I haven't been to Wedge in a few years but when they can overwinter a few seasons they get to a decent size. As both lakes get some heavy traffic, I find the best time to fish them is early in the year. South of Calgary, there's Bear pond and Big Iron Lake.

The Little Smoky river's got em. Lots of walleye too! Goes threw the town of little smokey, up by fox creek.

You can catch them on wet flies .Black Gnats work well ..or small panther martins with yellow and black bodies. Be kind with the release.

If you don't have any luck with the hardware, use a torpedo bobber with a fly. It's a good way to get to the fish out of flycasting range.
