The 4 guys I was with & 3 were Federal F&W Biologists @ one point in time, wouldn't keep nor cook the Grayling. But we did cook & eat a delicious Sheefish or >>White Fish<< they called it. We only caught a couple Dollies. Coho Salmon season closed 5 days before my arrival so those were out. We say a neat natural effect of May Flies starting in a small mass of thousands, then slowing bloom out to the extents as Sunset continued. I have witnessed something similar in Alabama many, many times in May. Serbus, Raimey rse

Typical every night's setup & the Lawrence of Arabia(Gazebo Tent & I highly recommend it) was mine by default as the trip was so short notice that I didn't have time to source a personal tent.
