ARCTIC GRAYLING

Arctic Grayling fly fishing is an experience unlike any other. These beautiful fish, with their iridescent dorsal fins and voracious appetites, offer some of the finest dry-fly fishing opportunities in Alaska.

Striking Fish with a Unique Fin

Arctic Grayling are a close cousin of the trout, but they are distinguished by their unique sail-like dorsal fin, which is dotted with purple and green spots. This fin can grow to be up to 50% of the length of the fish, making them one of the most striking game fish in Alaska.

Abundant in Alaskan Waters

Arctic Grayling are found in lakes, small streams, and big rivers throughout Alaska. They are most common in the northern part of the state, but they can be found as far south as the Kenai Peninsula.

Peak Fishing Season

The best time to fish for Arctic Grayling is during the summer months, from June through August. During this time, the fish are actively feeding and are more likely to take a fly.

Voracious Eaters

Arctic Grayling are voracious eaters and will eat almost anything that moves. Their primary food source is drifting aquatic insects, but they will also eat small fish, salmon eggs, and terrestrial insects.
