Been such an awsome fall season and for one am happy that its all about to slow down, I never thought id say it but I think im a little fished out haha. Ice season is taking its time but im not rushing either and I'll never officially put the float gear away as Niagara trips are often in the winter but sleep will be my best friend for the next few months :grin: The restaurant is also in full holiday mode so after my short but sweet 10 days of time off in Jersey will be pretty much work work work, but thats never a bad thing!

Anyway here is my photo recap on being a river bum for the last few months... :twisted:

So ended off the salmon season with my bud Mike hitting(actually hit and deep throated his bag) this spawned out "dropback" chinook right at the lake... lol.

From then on we switched over to Chrome mode and went hunting...

Lots of early morning days, most of which started of like this...

Ofcourse on trips(2-3 day missions) we would have extra time waiting for the sun so this became part of breakfast...

We ventured far and wide in our weekly search of steel. Exploring and walking stretches of rivers, some familiar some not.

Awesome!!! This right here is proof that you gotta put in the legwork to find the fish.

Congrats on a chrome filled season, wish I could've gotten out more, but work/full time school kept me busy.

Ahh I know I know... winter season just isnt the same as the fall if you know what I mean... Sure there are fish around and with the late winter the rivers are still wide open and no doubt ill still be around but winter is my rest period. Dont worry thought I wont be hurting haha... Plus do you know how depressing it is going from 20-30 fish days steady to the odd fish here n there in the winter :razz: Like I said man... time for me to sleep :wink:

And thats La Palette btw, Queen st between Spadina and Bathurst. Come by! :cool:
