That Dolly Varden looks totally spawned out... it’s a female, right?

Biggest grayling I caught was 18”... probably close to 2# in the Kvichak out of Lake Illiamna. Really big rainbows there in the fall.

I fished the Kvichak in 2014, I think it was. A friend I fished with then now owns the Blueberry Lodge there. We did well, but that's not really my kind of fishing. I prefer smaller streams and light fly rods. The Au Sable in Michigan is my ideal stream. That is a spawned out female Dolly. It got pan fried too and was pretty mushy. I would have put her back.

Downstream a few miles from Igugig is the section called “The Ribbons” I think, where the river divides into small delta-like streams with undercut banks and deep pools where smaller rainbows 14” - 20” and loads of grayling call home. Very much like small stream fishing.

That would be perfect. I think we fished from about 3? miles below the village on down. Am right now cutting up/wrapping my "well aged" caribou legs. Only a minimal need for nose plugs and preliminary taste tests so far are absolutely yummy. It's gonna be a good eating winter in my house.

Yeah Andros made it through the storm relatively unharmed.Major damage was on Abaco and Grand Bahama.Actually West End on Grand Bahama was fairly untouched.We're going over on Tuesday next week to bring some provisions.What did get hit is a real mess.Lot of Florida is pitching in.
Yesterday went to a function where Johnny Morris(BPS) held a vip presser along with our Governor and various others.They are donating several million in relief and bringing lots of other local businesses together.Convoy for Hope is taking care of the Logistics.
Great fishing pictures Mr Flanders.

Here's a pic of a 3#4oz hawg grayling that Nick just caught on the Hunt River up in the country where he and I fished when I was up there. This is an excellent grayling. You don't see many this big and especially this fat.

Full of eggs??

That is a beast! Almost expect to see a spiny dorsal and a "bucket mouth" on that one.

Default Walleye for dinner

Broke into my stash and cooked a walleye for dinner this evening. Two hours later it is but a fond memory......!

Don't know what made it so fat Dean. An added note is that the biggest grayling I know of being taken up here was by the Bering Air guys who run a helicopter fishing business out of Nome. They caught one that was 4# 15oz in 2008 or 2009.
