Large streamer for large grayling.

In August 2011, I had the opportunity to join some friends from Sweden on a float trip on the Finnmarksvidda. This is the most northern area in Norway, close to the city of Alta.
The river seemed to be infested with very large grayling! The guys from Sweden started with some classic nymphs such as pheasant tails and they were immediately catching plenty of grayling in the first pools. However, I was convinced that there had to be larger grayling here. So I choose a large streamer... an imitation of a male stickleback. My first 5 casts gave me 4 grayling that were above the 50 cm mark. I was a happy flyfisher...
My story is very similar to that of Mikko Halonen. His story was translated by Axel Wessolowski and published in Fliegenfischen 5/2011 (page 60-63).
