Canada Fly-in Fishing Trip

Arctic Grayling Fishing

Fly-in Bait and Spinning   

- The Grayling fishing is getting better with every year. We have been harvesting the Northern Pike in the area of river that the Grayling occupy. These are  skinny smaller Northerns living in the fast water and can eat a good number of Grayling Fry.  I have been asked many times what Arctic Grayling taste like and have always answered. "Like Bald Eagle and Loon"   Gets quite the look until I follow with "Don't eat those either." 

  - The Arctic Grayling catch ratio goes way up as the river water level drops. The Arctic Grayling congregate at the waterfalls and rapids up river.  They will readily take small spinners and flies at this time of year and throughout July and August and September.  Due to the fact they are sensitive to handling we ask that our guests get one photo of themselves with a grayling and then release the rest of those caught with the least amount of handling, with this practice our grayling fishing has flourished and improved every year over the years.  

- The Grayling fishing will remain good through the fall, in fact, larger Grayling seem to be taken in the fall.

Fly Fishing for Arctic Grayling

- The Arctic Grayling are the Princesses of the North. Their colors and beauty are spectacular. They are taken in the Beaulieu River, which flows into Hearne from the north. It is a beautiful trip up river to the faster water below a falls where these beauties live. Don will guide you on your first trip and then you will be able to return alone during your stay if you wish.  We cut a trail in 06 so you can walk the rivers edge and try your luck from the newly created casting areas. It is about a 10 minute walk from the boat park to the spectacular falls. If you are not physically up to the walk then Don will transport you the short distance. You won't want to forget your camera on this trip.

- Small weighted head nymphs and dry trout flies work best. We found the Renegade to be the hot fly in 06/07 Like the Lake Whitefish, Grayling have a delicate take and soft mouth.
