First Grayling Ever and it came out of the ice!
« on: December 24, 2013, 07:45:17 PM »
Here is the Video of my first Grayling Adventure.
 

Ice Fishing Quarry Lake for Grayling in the beautiful town of Canmore Alberta.  This was my first experience fishing for Grayling as I'd never caught one before.  Everything I read about catching grayling though the ice was not very reassuring.  Seems like they disappear and hide out in the winter.  It was my challenge to catch a grayling through the ice despite Keep Off the Ice signs posted all around the lake because of possible thin ice.  I arrived around noon and slowly made my way onto the ice drilling holes as I went.  The ice was 16-18 inches thick and I set up a Jaw Jacker in 10 feet of water off a sharp drop off with a red chironimid.  In ten minutes it went off and the fight was on.  I tried to get her up the hole but she came off before I could get a shot.  Time passed slow but after a while another Jaw Jacker went off and this time I landed my first Grayling ever.  A nice 12 inch in a beautiful setting.  Hope you enjoy this video.



Merry Christmas Everyone!

If anyone has any Lower Kananaskis tips I think I'll try there tomorrow.

That's pretty good,, I have never heard of anyone targeting Grayling through the ice before..

Well done and thanks for the post.
