Arctic Grayling - Thymallus arcticus

DESCRIPTION
This species has an average length of 12-15 inches and weighs in at 1-3 pounds. A strikingly colored fish, the back is purple to blue-black or blue-gray with sides of a pinkish iridescence having a number of V-shaped or diamond shaped spots. The head is olive-green with a mauve iridescence. During spawning the colors darken and the male becomes more brilliant than the female.

Range
The Arctic grayling occurs in northern British Columbia, Canada from the Peace and Stikine rivers north and in the south in the Flathead river. The general habitat is the clear waters of large, cold rivers, rocky creeks and lakes.

Reproduction
Grayling spawn when the ice is first breaking up in smaller streams. No actual nest is prepared and the female lays 4000-7000 eggs. The maximum age is 11-12 years. Food consists of a very broad range of invertebrates.

Sport Fishing - This fish has been taken by Eskimos and Indians as food for their dogs and, less often, for themselves. They are an attractive sport fish due to their tendency to leap when hooked. Fly fishermen fly into northern Canada to catch this beautiful fish.
