Firt Grayling Ever and it came Through the ice! - Calicanuck - 12-25-2013
Here is the Video of my first Grayling Adventure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrXYQHSYASI
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.
