Fly fishing for Arctic grayling in remote Yukon rivers while out on a 10 day moose hunt. 10/10 would recommend. This was the first time I’ve ever had grayling take on big pike gear. Steel leader and all! Pretty cool. Have you ever had anything like this happen? I’d love to hear about it in the comments. #YukonUnguided #fishing #flyfishing #yukon | Yukon Unguided
