Yep,these are european grayling Thymallus thymallus NOT arctic grayling. The small one was my first grayling The second grayling was my biggest 47cm, which is quite large for European grayling. The next one was a average size about 30-35 cm. The closest fish we have to European Grayling here in the states are Mountain whitefish. There are two types of people.

That is true, there are populations of ARCTIC grayling in Montana. There are Arctic Grayling in Colorado as well. The grayling I caught in Scotland are European Grayling. They have different habits than their Arctic cousins. European grayling are more like Mountain Whitefish in their habits such as the water they hold in, the flies they eat, how they eat flies, shoaling in groups etc... There are two types of people.
