Hi Russell, some of us do indeed fish for grayling in the Athabasca drainage. A research project was proposed for next year, and if successful some of our members will be helping collect data and DNA to help confirm if there are significant genetic differences in grayling in various parts of the province. We'll know if this gets approved in the spring timeframe. We had a great experience with an oil company a few years ago as well. Here is a short writeup. ken

The folks at Queen Mary Park community league asked us to pass along a request for volunteers to work at a casino at West Edmonton Mall on Dec 13/14.
