I managed to get out on saturday with my brother in law for some brook trout action. With the overcast skies and slight drizzle, we knew we'd be in for some fun! Its nice that this little creek is so close to home, you can sleep in a bit and still get out there with lots of time! The wee crick! There were a few different hatches happening. Hendricksons and BWOs were making up the bulk of the bug activity, but there were also some cahills coming off. Early, for the cahils, but they were hatching none the less. And quite a few stoners were out and about as well. And then there were the trout......pardon the number of images, but there were lots of trout to be caught! Twas a very fun day to say the least! I have no idea how many fish we got, but there were certainly enough to go around!!

I can't remember if its caledonia or york, but this is the time of year that is excellent for mooneye on dry flies down there. There also should be some walleye in there, and probably pike, carp.....heck, I'd say give it a go!

Beware.......these are not deep water fish!! ankle to knee deep water is where you'll usually spot em!

Bass.....26th

Explore some of the notty tribs. You should be pleasantly surprised!

You said it man! Can we really go back...no. Not at this point anyways. The friggin planet runs on oil at this point. Whether you wear it or what you wear was made by it, crude is all around us.....and it'll probably be the end of us as well. Wars, environmental devastation, poverty. Its all right there and has been for decades. I imagine it'll only get worse. This simply touches on what can actually go wrong.

They just might even be fun to stalk on the fly......what was that I read one time about carp being fresh water bonefish??

I too decorate trees with feathers and fur!

well..they gave little crosby a day dream tonight.... game on now! and the senators???? come on!!! this is hockey, not jousting man!

you can find several "atlas" type documents on the mnr site. They'll give you GPS co-ords and other info such as that. Here's one, and there are many more. I've found them useful personally. MNR Brown Trout Atlas

Thats a decent setup for a beginner for sure! You should also check out the Grand Opportunities forum this june at Belwood Conservation Area. Its entirely free, and there are a bunch of seminars that are very helpful when just starting out! dave

Nice ties man! What'd ya use for the legs? Those should be good for resident trout as well, if you fish for those too!

This actually happened a few years ago. Here's a link to a Trout Unlimited video about the project:

I've done the same. CC'd to a few Stewardship Presidents that I know as well to see what kind of response they might have.

sick isn't it.....all of it. It gets worse every year, and theres nothing that any of us can really do about it. Southern Ontario is highly populated, and it'll just continue to grow and grow. There are ignorant asses in every race/religion/creed/whatever, but, the fact is that it will continue to happen. Some people open their mouths and do something about it, some dont, but either way, nothing positive happens in the end. Its always the same. The pigs will always be out there as they've always been.

second time in 6 months???.....I'd be thinkin about changing banks personally... thats like...almost 3 grand in 6 months...seriously dude, you sure RBC isnt having some security issues???

I aint no pro, but I don't think thats a huron trib...well, not entirely anyways . I could be wrong, but a couple of those rocks look mighty familiar... Nice job out there boys!

Excellent...lots of Kaufmans in my box....I'll have to tie up some montanas for tomorrow!

Nice man! Any way you might be able to post a clearer shot of that fly.....looks like a dandy!

anymore news on this?

HUGE man!! Was it clipped or was it natural?

Yup.....that about sums it up for me too. Anywhere from 1 to 4 hours of those dudes gets me where I need to go!

we have lots of prime trout creeks in southern Ontario.... You should be able to make yourself feel at home in these parts!

Can't say I've ever heard that one before.

I am absolutely without a doubt going to be at the show.........thirteenth time for me
