Love tying these guys...

Sage SPL 8'9" 4wt 3 piece. Like butter.

Fishing for Arctic Char in Pauline Cove on Hershel Island Yukon as the fish gather for their run up the Firth River to spawn.

For lakes I have great success on pumpkinheads in olive and orange, CDC Prince Nymphs, peeking caddis and halfbacks. If you want dries, try some parachute Adams, and Frying Pan Green Drakes. Traditional wets like Partridge and Orange, Lead Wing Coachman and Gold Ribbed Hares Ear are lots of fun to tie and can turn a fishless day into a successful one.

I also tie a small light blue bodied dry with dun hackle in about a size 18 that is a killer for spooky trout.

Parachute Adams Tent Wing Caddis. Frying Pan Green Drake.

Thanks everyone for the help. Much appreciated. I expect I'll try the one with 45 lbs thrust. Will probably be using mainly on the aluminum but it should give me the opportunity to use it on the toon.

Want to get a trolling motor that I could use on my pontoon and for my small aluminum and wondering if its possible that one motor could do both? Any advice wound be greatly appreciated. Pontoon is a Outcast Fishcat 10 IR and aluminum is about 12 feet. Both craft used for trolling local lakes. Thanks for the help.

Sorry didn't realize grayling in that area were so small.

James Spent 12 years up north - NWT and Yukon - and loved catching Grayling. Depending on how big you expect a 4 or 5 weight is sufficient. They aren't picky about flies but my preferred method is dry because they will often jump out of the water and take the fly on the way down - a blast to watch. BWOs, foam beetles, ants, black gnats and mosquito patterns worked best for me - as for wets, I found something with some sparkle in it worked best, bead head hares ears, bead head PTN or Prince nymph. One of the most most successful patterns in the Yukon was a black wooly worm with red wire rib, red tail and gold bead head. Caught a lot on yellow or golden stonefly patterns too.

First experience with Midsun was not good - wasnt happy with a quote they gave me - won't go back.

A fly fisherman's worst nightmare is when he dies his wife sells his gear for what he told her it's worth.
