Arctic Grayling are Watta Lake's most beautiful sport fish. With colors ranging from silver to purple and magenta, pectoral, pelvic and tail fins translucently tipped, and an incredibly large and colorful dorsal fin that unfolds to show amazing coloration similar to butterflies or peacocks, the Grayling stands out among all species.The Arctic Grayling are graceful when followed in the eddies and pools of the Beaulieau River and although very delicate, they will offere some mentionable fishing battles and often some fantastic above surface aerial shows.

   Watta Lake has two areas for fishing Grayling. A short hike (10-15 minutes) will bring you to a water fall where the odd Grayling will take from whirling, oxygen rich, pools aside the powerful rushing water. A boat trip (about 45 minutes) will take you to the Beaulieu River where Grayling thrive in eddies and rock crevices below. Some afternoons will produce catches of 20 or more.

   Arctic Grayling can be pursued effectively with flies or spinners and wether your an accomplished flyfisher or a novice angler, you will catch Grayling. The river is sheltered and a great way to spend an afternoon in any kind of weather. The boat ride from shorelunch island, the 15-20 minute hike afterward in safe and easily managed terrain, and the scenic area all lend themselves to a wonderful, natural experience you'll have with nature in complete isolation.
