Following Sunday's C.C.P. in Westfir we shot over to the coast and stopped by the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. Being an avid sport fisherman, I really enjoyed the Gyotaku Exhibit. Bruce Koike's work was excellent and was at the entrance to the shark tank.

Nice grayling art. Arctic Grayling were native to Michigan, though, just as here in Montana.
It's the one fish I've yet to catch out here. I understand they are beautiful. Gierach did a nice write up of the species in his work Trout Bum while up north. I don't know much about their native range and origin.
Still a few fluvial grayling on the Big Hole, but they are going fast. I'm signed on with the Center for Biological Diversity for an ESA listing--all the "voluntary" efforts have been too little, too late.
Lacustrine grayling are very abundant in Mussigbrod (my absolute favorite) and Agnes Lakes. Go get 'em.

Thanks Eco. Good info. Still liking that pic of RTD.
