Jigs or hardware for Grayling?

[Akice]

What styles/sizes of jigs are common for picking up grayling thru the ice? always used corn when i was a kid but i'm not sure if its legal to use on one of the lakes i plan on fishing, is corn considered artifical? either way, are their jigs that work well for grayling?

I have only fished for grayling a couple times and picked them up using small Gitzit micro jigs tipped with one wax worm.  They do give up a pretty good fight through the ice!

Where at BD - on the river or in a lake? I guess I haven't ventured out enough since I've never caught a grayling through the ice. Good - there's one more thing to plan to do sometime!

I did real well on a small body of water on the AF base back when stocking grayling in large numbers was "hip."  I know you can get them in the river, and I think it's an upcoming challenge to catch some nice grayling, (16"+), out of the Tanana or Chena!  Can't imagine a fish that size on an ultralight set up on the river... Kick in the pants!

sure would be! I caught some decent grayling on the salcha while moose hunting this year (no pike though oh and no moose either for that matter!)

as was mentioned in the hatchery thread it would be nice if grayling stocking is coming back

The only place that I have caught them through the ice is at Birch Lake.

Where exactly have you caught them Travis?

[travisj88]

It was a couple of years ago and they were in front of the houses to the right at the highway pulloff.  Last year I saw one caught at breakup at that huge hole that was there at the pulloff.

Sorry about that.  I caught them on little ice jigs tipped with shrimp or eggs while I was fishing for rainbows.
