Snaggy

Finally... the small stream I fish for brookies hit the magical temp and the fish would start to feed more willingly! I made it out for a few hours before work today because the weather was beautiful! A very nice place to spend a day, a true gem hidden in Southern Ontario!

I spent most of my time fishing a small stretch of the stream that is much wider than the rest of the stream. Usually It is no more than a couple feet wide, but this corner is about 10 feet wide or so! 

Mepps and worms did the trick today. Fished for about 2 hours and managed to bring in about a dozen, missing many more. All fish were released to swim and grow another day. This picture shows about the average size of today's catch.... still dreaming of breaking the 10" mark on this stream!

Next up I am hoping to get on a larger stream for trout where I can get out the fly rod, not sure whereabouts yet though! 

Hi guys,

Going on a camping trip into Algonquin in late April early May. We are going from Rock-Penn-Welcome and staying three nights on Welcome Lake. The main objective of the trip is obviously fishing, so I was just wondering what your opinions are about bringing both a spinning and fly fishing outfit. I don't have sinking fly line either. 

The reason why I ask is because I obviously want to pack light, so if the fly rod is unnecessary I will leave it at home. 

Thanks! 

Hi guys,

Need to replace my fly rod for the current season. Looking for a 5WT in atleast a 4 piece as I need to be able to pack it up for most of my trips. Not too picky other than that.

Thanks!
