Ted - that Northern life sure looks good! I don't know how you prepare pike, but the method I used when i was up in the Northwest Territories is as follows. Fillet the fish, and skin each fillet. Salt to taste and place the fillets in a pyrex baking pan (or whatever you like). Sprinkle with dill and place thin slices of garlic on the fish. Next slice (cold) butter and put those on the fillets as well; lastly, put slices of lemon on the top. Cover and bake for the appropriate time, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
The fish comes out tastey and moist - the bones are also usually very easy to remove.

Looks like an excellent meal! Congratulation on catching the grayling. You don't need to live in the North for that sort of meal, it is kinda standard in our house. Tonight it was calf moose steak and home grown potatoes, last night home made elk sausage, the night before wild pheasant in an East Indian butter chicken recipe on wild rice. Good eating is wild and home grown food IMHO.

I bet that fish put up a good fight on such light line.

Get up on the weekend throw the canoe up on my shoulders walk with the wife and kids to one of the lakes within walking distance "some of them have no road access so they are very private and pristine"
Do some exploring, catch a couple little fatties and home by 2 pm, Its real tough living in the north.

It was a good scrap, especially when he got around the dead spruce. Jumped clear out of the water half a dozen times. We hooked quite a few more, but only brought this one home to eat.
Heading out for some big pike, tomorrow. You ever try them on a fly rod? That is really fun!

Here's a four pounder I caught yesterday on four pound test.
Cast iron + butter + salt & pepper + whole wheat toast = breakfast for four! It's tough living in the North.
