My son has been waiting for the day! We slipped into the waders, and dipped our toes into the ice cold water. It was slow at first, and I almost gave up, but my son was more determined. Arctic graylings are so beautiful. It is a weird time of year when we can do either ice fishing or fly fishing. Indeed he had a blast with ice fishing last weekend.

My father took me for fishing frequently, so it is great to re-live my childhood, but from a different perspective. If he can put a part of his efforts into his violin practice, ....

David, arctic graylings are amazing in so many aspects. They are beautiful, they migrate (not well-known where they go during the winter), they can live in amazingly small streams. They are pretty tough and good fighters.
