Went out to Duffins for a few hours and it was tough fishing. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but the waters were dark and stained and it was blowing like a mofo. Upon leaving, I decided to take the rest of the day off and head out to Wilmot. That would be the only place that I landed a fish. It wasn't very big...perhaps a 3 pounder, but better to have caught something than nothing.
After that, went up north to visit the g/f's family. I really do enjoy being up there more and more, especially now that I've been introduced to trout & salmon fishing.
My friend landed two big ones (a five pounder and a 4 pounder). We ate the bigger trout that night, which was enough to feed five people!
Fish really do taste better up there. I ended up getting skunked on Saturday.Next day, started around 8am and took a few places to finally land one! This was such a beauty that I just had to release it. It was too pretty to keep. It looks a bit prego too, so I hope it will have a happy spawning life.
It wasn't a very hard fighter and come to think of it, my friend's catches weren't fighting either. And would you call this a rainbow or a steelhead?
I'm still new to this centre-pin action and I had a lot of difficulties in trying to cast far. I've been using the wallis cast, but I could only manage about a 20ft cast. I saw some guys that were able to hit 50ft, with ease.
What's the secret?
