Had a nice afternoon on a grayling pond a few days ago.

Took me a bit, but eventually found small (size 14-18) chronies on size 5x flouro tippet were the ticket. A few rises to dries if you're determined....

if it's the one we talked about sundance, leeches got me into quite a few

Was out on a grayling pond last weekend as well, was using a damselfly nymph with a size 14 trailer nymph. Got the attention with damselfly, hooked up with the trailer

Was out today as well and did quite well. I've been messing around a bit with some underwater pictures, but it's pretty hard to get a decent shot. Quite a mixed bag of weather.

Yup. Buddies knees couldn't handle the slipperiness of the trail.

We hit Chain instead for baby rainbows.

For grayling, could also consider Quarry lake on the outskirts of Canmore, on the way to the Nordic Centre. Busy place with swimmers and walkers, but the grayling are fairly large. I have caught few 18" grayling there and a number of 14 to 17". I use a #6 leech or bugger in black and a slip bobber to let the fly go down near vertical and still allow 15 feet of tippet out. The bigger ones are down deeper while the smaller ones hit dry flies in the shallows. The best spot is in the south part of the pond, and about 1/3 east (off of the picnic bench). Best fished with a float tube or pontoon boat. Just a short haul from the parking area.
