Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) were stocked in a number of locations as early as the
1920s, but only survive in one (high) lake in Skagit County. Attempts were made in
the late 1980s to develop a high lake near North Bend as a grayling brood stock lake,
and several fry introductions were made. The effort failed due to predation by the wild
rainbow reproducing in the lake. There is currently no brood stock in Washington, nor
plans to develop one.

Pretty cool read.
I fished lower granite quite a bit when I was younger, loaded with cutts. Only fished the upper once, I knew there was grayling in it but never caught one.
Those lakes are hard to get to know.

Looks like a great trip. :tup:

I've never caught one and they are one of two fish on my bucket list. Those and dolphin, kind of opposite ends of the spectrum.
Looks like a great trip. :tup:
Bull nose dolphin, dorado, mahi-mahi? I’ve caught many off of Baja, tons of fun and the best tasting fish hands down.

LOVED getting them in Crescent lake on the Kenai Pen. in AK. We’d get them up to 22-23”. Biggest I’ve ever seen.
Those had to be amazing fights!

That is huge. We had a good lake in CO where we could have 30 fish days at ice off but they topped out around 16”
