Nice fish...I haven't fished for them, but was thinking of trying this weekend, especially with the condition of the Bow, lately.

Do you know that for a fact Sundance (I don't know one way or the other)? I was up there last weekend but couldn't fish it as the ice was still on. I didn't bother continuing on to Big Iron, but I assume it might be in the same condition? I guess the other question is, when is stocking scheduled? I believe it is regularly stocked.

Congrats on the first grayling. That's definitely seems to be a good solid sized grayling.

There is a separate thread on the same subject.

Not stocked last year...won't be stocked this year. Hopefully stocked next year.

Big Iron may be okay...different lake than Bear Pond. You will have to go to see...an post.

Beauty fish, I would love to land one of those!!
What kind of fly were you using? I guess you were trying a few different ones, what seemed to work best for you?
