A little birthday fishing

[GreenCanada]

Hey all

 

So I decided to leave Guelph this past weekend to do a little birthday fishing.

 

While I was waiting for the bus I decided to take a few casts in the Speed River downtown. This is what I got on my 3rd cast.

 

After heading out to Caledon, I rested up and left bright and early Saturday morning hunting for brown's at a secret location (can't post a pic sorry)

 

Had a 20" brown on, got it close to shore then it spit the rap.. go figure.

 

Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

 

Same spot, I cast out under a cedar tree and BLAM fish on... though it turned out to be a nice sized pike. Once again spitting the lure as I get it close to shore... not a real loss like the brown though!

 

Anyways... As I'm walking back up from another hit and miss from another monster brown. I caught this little guy

 

Great little 10" rainbow (but very surprising to find them up this far)

 

I'll post a pic in a reply

Here's the first rainbow

Then I headed out to another little secret location... and caught some more rainbows!!

 

This one here is about 11-12"

Oh, and I went for a short walk up an old river I know of which is flooded in the spring but extremely low in the summer. When I mean low, there is about 2" in a creek almost, which leads into a series of deep holes (about 2-3 feet deep). So I took my ultralight, barbless hooks, and dew's.

 

I caught about a dozen of these, this was the biggest rainbow (5") and I didn't keep any from here.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed those, as I enjoyed my birthday weekend greatly...

 

Cheers

to be honest ...ive never seen a rainbow that looked like that ....looks more like a cut throat trout to me ,,,,but then again ...ive never caught a bow this time of year in any water system other than the lake where they are returned to chrome....

 

very pretty fish though ..nice job and Happy Bday
