This one is going on my wall. They were once native to the area that I grew up. Logging and silting of the rivers made them disappear before I had a chance to see one of these beautiful fish in the rivers.Image

Nice sketch. Are there grayling in the US? I always see the Europeans talking about them but never Americans.

Knotty there are some. I know Montana has some, went back thru my pictures of my trip back in 2010. Landed a few, but I can't find the pictures.

There *were* plenty in Yellowstone. That was 20 years ago, though. I'm sure they are still around.

(We went hoping to at least see one, and ended up releasing 80 in a couple days worth of fishing)

There are a few states that have them. Mostly western and Alaska. Michigan is trying to reintroduce them. Michigan also has a private lake that raises them.

I have always admired grayling but never caught one. Grayling are very prolific throughout Europe and are common place. In the UK they are considered coarse fish and on many private trout waters (chalk streams) all grayling caught must not be returned to the water.

Can you explain the "coarse" fish thing?

I released a grayling in YNP back in the 80's.

Caught it at the base of the Gibbon falls.

The only grayling l've ever caught but still fresh in my memory.

Colorado has a few as well. There's a section on the Cache La Poudre where its a natural reproducing area, and it's open to fishing for a limited time of year. Beautiful fish.
