Lake Fishing

Sylvain, Gord and I fished Spider today. Lots of action in the morning. The Pumpkinhead was very effective on both Type 7 and intermediate lines. Everyone caught fish however Sylvain caught the most! It was a good day to be out in the water.

Headed to the beach to catch the last hour of a rising tide. Only a slight nor’west breeze and a tiny chop on the water greeted me. Full sun and a comfortable 12°C. made for a pleasant midday fishin’ trip. My chosen venue was out in front of the “Bird House”. Yes,...

            TheCourtJester drove to the river alone, still searching for hungry trout.  No other fishers and only one walker were encountered; as he returned to the parking area, he saw a car parked on the other road side.  If that was a fisher, they were downstream...

              TheCourtJester drove to the river alone, still searching for trout hungry for fry.  Besides dogwalkers, there were three anglers; a grandfather and grandson and a youngish chap who tromped through the water that Jester had wanted to fish!  Granddad and...
