Well, since Grayling are not that picky, and I thought I would try a new technique with some slightly offbeat color combos... here is the result. That's just a simple glass bead stolen from my daughter when she was younger and into beading, so no too heavy this version. A little gold wire wrap adds slight weight. Small green chenille, gold goose boots for antennae and tail.
I was going to put some legs on it, but that will be for the next version, in a different color.

If you ever get a chance try a Royal Coachman pattern size 8 or 10 lived North many years Caught and fried many Grayling.. wet flys version and even black and yellow bee patterns in size 10 or 8s Grasshopper patterns will work well too

Thanks for the suggestions. A Royal Coachman is a classic suggestion for Grayling for sure, but I have not yet tried it. I'll take a couple next time. Also, never thought to try a Bee or Grasshopper fly since I didn't think they would be available to Grayling for food, but Grayling are so keen to bite, I'm sure they'd go for those patterns without hesitation.
