I overheard some older gentlemen talking about the dreams they get after fishing for a full day. lol One of the guys was saying his wife has to be careful when sleeping beside him after a full day of fishing cause he would randomly "set the hook" while asleep haha.

wife says i do it all the time and im not old!!!!! was sleepin in the chair the other day and i woke myself up setting on a massive chinny

You would be surprised.

I don't think i would be, lol, yah ininderstand some of them get up to six pounds, buy believe me, they are fewer and farther between then the lakes that hold them, ive lived here basically my whole life, and have fished the stocked lakes more then once, it's not a common thing to catch them, argue with me all you want, but stocking 1500 rainbows every two years, in a large lake infested with bass, is not the most productive stocking efforts.
Needless to say I get my share of rainbows, but mainly from stocked ponds i have permission to fish.

The river imagery when trying to sleep is not as weird as the tetris dreams, for anyone who was ever addicted to tetris. You'd close your eyes and be playing tetris, funny how our brains can do that.

Hahaha.....yes, I can remember the tetris dreams.

Wicked looking fish!

I don't know about Muskoka, but there are some good sized bows in Haliburton. I just caught a couple and 1 was more than 4#, the other 1 maybe 2-3#.

Great pictures!! And beautiful fish ! God I love the colors on trout

Yah that's about the size of the ones we get, typical 1-3 lbs 4/5 being bigger then average and 6 being monstrous. We were lucky enough to experience a few good years on my home lake, downrigging for lakers, we'd get some nice big water rainbows that looked and acted like... Steel lol.
