Grayling Heaven!


I made it and so did my switch rod! All is well in Finland! OMG this is the coolest place. I am in a village of 250 people! It is a geat hotel that sits on the Utsoki river. Today we fished it for grayling. It rained pretty much all day but the fishing was great. I caught a ton of grayling primarily on dries (mostly on royal wulff, caddis and irresistables)but switched to nymphs just to see how productive it would be.

I'm learning alot about the Finnish regs and its all very interesting to me. The hotel owners Kaj and Rosa are fantastic people and we hit it off from the start. It is an amazing place..reindeer roam around everywhere. We even had a few in the parking lot this morning!

Speaking of Reindeer...I had it for dinner tonight and I LOVED IT!

I am very tired but I can't sleep knowing the grayling are just outside my hotel window and its DAYLIGHT all night long! wow...what a great day in grayling heaven!
