Arctic Grayling
Arctic Char
Arctic Char is one of the most delicate fish -- combining the lightness of trout and the tastiness of salmon. Arctic Char thrive in cold, clear water less than 50'F (10'C). Arctic Char is definitely the rarest kind of delicacy, the prize catch of only the most adventurous anglers. During its spawning period through late September and early October, Arctic Char boasts a bright red underside.Arctic Grayling
The Arctic Grayling (Thymalus arcticus) is a very rare game fish, highly prized for its beauty and for its fighting ability. The Arctic Grayling has a large sail-like dorsal fin, rows of dark spots, and is often tinged with pink or white on the upper edge.
