  Emiy...there ARE male grayling!

  Do male graylings exist, or only female? I keep seeing them referred to pnly as "she", and the "Lady of the Stream," of course. Are they able to breed without males?

  I was interested to read this on Wikipedia: "The generic name Thymallus derives from the Greek θύμαλλος, "thyme smell", a name derived from the fragrance of wild thyme that freshly-caught graylings quite often have."
