Arctic Grayling
Arctic Grayling are one of Alaska's most delicate and beautiful sport fish. Their identification is easy due to their vibrant colors and incredibly large dorsal fin. At one time, their abundance stretched as far south as Michigan. Their almost complete disappearance from the Lower 48 was caused by over fishing, competition from non-native species, and loss of habitat. Thankfully, this colorful fish still graces nearly all of Alaska's wild freshwaters.
