How to Catch Graylings When Ice Fishing

Graylings are an arctic fresh-water fish found in colder climates. They spawn in the spring and are typically found in rivers and small lakes. Late spring and early summer is a great time to catch these fish with a fly, while in the late summer and early autumn, anglers should use a lure. During the winter months and until spawning season, you can catch these fish by ice fishing.
