Nice ! I'm curious...did you notice a difference in taste between the Quebec Red Trout (which are basically land-locked Arctic Char) and  Speckled Trout ?

Yes most definitely....The Char was  sweeter and the meat was dark orange/red color.

I just got back from my trout trip in Quebec.....black flies were ridiculous, even out in the middle of the lake. Fishing started off slow but picked up by Wednesday.....No bows or browns in the remote lakes but I managed to get my limit in Quebec Reds (Char) on the larger lake that our cabin was on....biggest Char was 2.6lbs. First time going up to this outfitter so I think I'll give it another try next year in June as opposed to May.

Thanks Lew!!

I feel like a kid again on Christmas Eve.....I can't even remember the last time I headed out for a spring Trout excursion due to heavy business travel.....It's been 7 weeks since I have retired and I'm feeling great! Leaving in the morning to drive 3hrs north in Quebec and we will be targeting native Quebec Reds +Speckled Trout on the lake that our cabin is on and then some remote lakes for stocked Rainbows and Browns.....Very stoked just to get back in a boat and this will be the first out of 4 fishing trips that I booked in Quebec this year.....Hopefully the fish will cooperate and I'll be able to make another post....I know the Black Flies will be cooperating  

Very nice!

That’s great.  
where are we fishing first?

Heading up to Quebec in 11 days for some trout.....this will be the 1st time staying at this outfitter. Remote cabin equipped with propane appliances including a hot shower...

This place caught my attention a while back because of the multi species.....The Lake our cabin is on has native Arctic Char and Speckled Trout....then they give us an itinerary to fish remote lakes each day we are up there......Arctic Char, Speckies, Rainbows, Browns and 1 lake has walleye. I can hardly wait to get the hell up there!!

Nice shots!!

I have been using Startron fuel treatment for years now in all my gas motors......my 150HP Merc, 9.9 Merc ProKicker, generator, woodsplitter, etc.....

I'm soooo envious Simon!

Thanks Lew.....nice to see that you're still on here!

Hi Everyone....I'm happy to say that I am back after leaving this site for many years due to work. I took on a new position that required extensive travel around the world and almost completely stopped me from fishing. I was traveling every other week for weeks at a time and my boat has been stored away for 3 years in a row now.

I've got less than 4 weeks before my official retirement date and can hardly wait to make up for the lost time of doing what I enjoy the most>>>>>>  FISHING!!

I looked at a few posts on here and happy to still see some familiar names and faces......

Steve....

Nice fish Pete!

Hi everyone.....it's been a long time since I posted anything due to the fact that I have not been able to get out on the water because of work. I took a new Global position 2 years ago that has me traveling around the world every 2 weeks which has really cut into my ability to get out....I decided to take the bull by the horn and take a week off so I could actually get caught up around the house and a possible trout outing....My buddy called me last week and when I told him I was off he said "let's get out to your favourite trout lake"....It didn't take any time for me to say "let's go!"

All I can say is that we picked an awesome 3 days of getting into the deep back lakes and hammering the Rainbows...we got into the lake Friday night after having to winch out of a few mud holes and limited out by noon on Saturday....My buddy forgot the net so it was pretty exciting to work the fish until there were ready to be grabbed. We even had the excitement of have a double header early Saturday morning...

The highlight of the trip was this beauty 8lb'r that my buddy caught on the fly with no net

I hope to get out on a few more outings this year and contribute some posts to this community...

If you think you took a break Lew, I don't know what to call what I did?....LOL

I'm back from a company position that had me traveling around the world every week or 2....starting to slow down now (I hope) and I'm looking forward to getting out this year and get back to fishing again and providing some posts!

Great report Matt and yes, I am back!

Thanks Lew...nice to be back. The New Year is starting off with travel to Brazil but I am hoping that business travel will settle down this year. Looking forward to posting a few reports again!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and here's to a good 2015....yes I'm back from being away from the site for quite a long time....I took a new position at work in 2014 that had me travelling around the world....124,000 travelled miles this year.....I was able to get out a handful of times in the boat but that was it...

Looking forward to hopefully being able to get out on the ice and soft water this year a few more times than last year...

You've got that right Lew!....not only during the winter. We've had 2 day outages here in the summer after storms and the Generac was in full operation...

Happy New Year bud to you and your wife!

We have a Generac as well but not as nice as Lews!!...it's a portable 8000W Electric start and we have a dedicated breaker panel for it...We've had it for over 12 years now and it runs like new.

Home Depot sells them on-line and they're cheaper now then they were back when we bought ours.

Atta boy Mikey!!

 

 

Wind has been very much a big player on the big waters of late, especially for the musky hunters of GB and the Larry

Agreed....if you have a big enough boat it's heaven...the Muskie bite has been awesome here on the Ottawa River

_{Hopefully you won't get blown around too much!...it's pretty windy out there. God luck!}

Thanks Lew...what a great way to start a day after seeing that. What an insperation!

Awesome!!...congrats
