misfish

Would not open for me Joe, but did get this one http://www.gisapplication.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?site=AFFES_ONLine&viewer=AFFES_ONLINE Nothing around my parents place.

I was in the Fergus area. Tooning in the parts I fished would not of been that great,

Senkos in heavy cover,I will tie direct. They don't hesitate on the hit.

My next trip I,ll need to remember to pick up a box of those crawdads for ya. Free delivery. ?

Jer I tie direct to my spinner baits. The rest is floro leaders.

Welcome back newf. Whats been up?

LOL I still have a reel spooled with red power pro. (wish I could find it again ) Been on my reel 10 years. Oh I have caught many a fish with it. Bass to lakers and whities. Faded or not. STOP OVER THINKING. HA HA HA HA

Why I have not been up yet Jer. I hate bath water.

It,s been steady all morning since 7am. Loving it. Well needed.

Thanks guys for the replies. I have to say again, this system is so big and from what I seen, these fish could be anywhere. I am jacked to go back. If I had to live anywhere else but here on Simcoe, Fergus would be my choice. Start from the top and work my way way down. One thing for sure about the walking is, it,s not those nice round rocks like up here. Hard walking. Time to get the walking stick again. Use to use one alot on the credit and humber. Failed to mention I watched a osprey dive into river claws first ,but came up empty. That was cool to see. Funny,that is what Brad told me as well. LOL The upper part I fished Rob was too skinny in many parts to ride the toon down. Plus I would probly be in Paris before I wanted to go back. LOL

It would seem I picked a day where rain fell hard over night in Fergus. Arrived to dirty water and green clumps of bottom growth floating down the river. This river system is huge and fish could be anywhere. Looked up and down the river deciding on a spot to try first. I see a nice spot where there a split. Start walking across and oops, man down. LOL Gather myself and get to my first rip. A beaded barbless nymph under an indicator, was my set up. Third drift and fish on. Then off,just as quick. Little chunky brown jumped and spit. EXCITED I WAS.Most of been the only fish in the section,as I did not get another hit. Fished this section for 2 hours then moved down to the next access spot. There were 3 guys fishing there already, so decided to move on and give Brad a call ( cuz I got lost ) and check out a spot he told me about. We met up for a coffee and off I was again. This spot I liked. Some slow deep water with rips up and down it. The scenery was AWESOME. I missed a real good hit at the end of a drift. Almost yanked the rod out of my hand. The water here was much clearer and less debris floating down. I noticed small birds were flying very close to the water,but could not see any bug action. Not sure why they were doing this. I tried dry fly's, but nothing was taking them off the surface, so back to the nymph and indicator. A couple of chubb, then my first grand brown. Nothing big,but my first. What a very cool river. A selfie. This river system is on my radar from now on. I will be back in September before closer. The fly shop was cool. Very friendly fella. Was great to meet you today Brad, and a BIG thanks for the help today.

Holly crap. That sucks and glad yer ok.

Fergus and back

DODGE NUF SAID

Thanks Bill. I have a few I have made and some others I got in a lot. Ok now you have me second guessing here, and I hate this. LOL I watched a video that said the dam flow keeps the river temp cool through out the summer months. Do you think the river will be to warm now ? Or do I travel and find out ? HMMMMMM I will be barbless and c&r

Looks like a 4 am start sat. Looking forward to this little road trip.

We have a guy in Barrie that is out quite often. I have it on one of my videos.

Scott, that is awesome. Thanks Steve I had a real nice spot on the credit in the 80,s. It,s now lined with factory's. Im a pretty early guy, so figured I would walk some then go to the shop after. I see there are 2 ? Or is the other a fishing club ? Grand river trout fitters.

It has been on my list for awhile now. Thinking this Saturday will be the day. I want to visit the fly shop in town as well. ( LEAVING CREDIT CARD AT HOME ) If there is anyone here that can throw me a bone on some river access spots, ( PM if you like ) That would very helpful. I will figure the rest out ( flys to throw ) when I get there. That will be my learning curve for the trip. Will a 5wt be enough? I have seen that there are some big fish,but majority are smaller in size. Thanks B

Hey Colin Check out Bolts Plus if there is one around in your area. You can get them at a pretty cheap price. Oh look, there is one. https://www.boltsplus.ca/storeInfo.php?storeID=CAM

One morning, you might join me and see it LIVE.

I am making a floating sign for out there. No toon parking here for you. LOL

All seems normal to me Joe. LOL Thanks blaque LOL True story last Sunday. Got out about 300 yards rowing through waves and went to reach for my java and wasnt there. I had left it on the boulder where I launch. Oh I went back for it and headed back out. As for you crowding me, come on up.

Thanks David

Thanks byes.
