Did not bring my scales, but I estimate this one I caught on Saturday at about 1.5lb. Got a larger one on Friday evening as well.

I'm planning to do a classical Yellowhead Hwy - Cassiar Hwy - Alaska Hwy road trip in Northern BC in the beginning of September. If forest fire situation allows, that is. The trip is not focused on fishing, however I expect to have some time to fish.
I'm mostly interested in arctic grayling and pike, and I have virtually none experience fishing these species. I will be using kayak in lakes - I've researched some apparently good ones to fish for pike. And some rivers for grayling - all of them in close proximity to Cassiar or Alska highways. But I would appreciate some practical advice - what techniques make sense this time of year, what to look for on the water - that kind of stuff. And whether it makes sense to fish for them at all in September.
That said, I won't skip on some good trout fishing too. I have experience in BC interior and it would most likely be too hot for trout there. But I have not researched the northern corridors yet, so any advise at all would be appreciated.
Thanks.
