Is it just me or has this just become a saugage fest! LOL i dont see the females around anymore.
 
Wish I had gotten out more opening weekend, had to stay within the GTA but still caught some decent fish! Worked on opening day at 9 but I stopped at a nice pool earlier to see if any residents were around. Caught a nice browny, possibly an Atlantic?


Arrived on another river sunday afternoon that had been pounded and still lots of fishermen were around. I had no luck at first and it seemed like nobody was catching anything. Decided to walk as far downstream as possible and change my tactics away from drifting roe, beads and eggs and throw some hardware. Once i got away from people I got to a decent pool and caught a decent steely. After that I walked further down were i discovered a large amount of steelhead pushing upriver in a nice long shallow run. (Not Spawning fish) These fish were really aggressive towards my spinner and I caught 4 and lost 2 in about an hour. I eventually broke off on a fish losing my original spinner. I tried another spinner but it seemed as if they could not care at all about this one and all the other spinners I had. I tried just about everything I had from roe, streamers, plugs, etc but they had no interest at all! Pretty Interesting i found haha wish i had another one of my original spinners lol Heres a couple freshies

 
Thanks and yeah it was only the first pic i was talking about lol, the others are obviously steelies. I figured the first was a brown, but it lacked red spots and looked silverly, quite different from other browns i've caught on the river before...

Not the best opener...but not the worst! Only managed to pull one brown out all evening after work. The photo is also not the best my hands were shaking like a son of a b****, just so happy to finally get something on! I was just using a small UL trout rod with a float and worm. Tomorrow morning I am going to try on the fly, its a very tight little creek so not sure how it will work out. Mostly browns and some brookies in this creek, any tips on what I should put on my line? I was thinking an elk hair caddis, with about a 10"-12" piece of tippet with a BH pheasant tail nymph on it. Let me know what you think!!

Cheers fellas



Nice brown bro! Still trying to get my brown belt! Hopefully in the next few weeks
