Brook Trout opener

[jjcanoe]

Well after a decent steelhead opener last week, Dutchy came along with me on our annual Southern Ontario Brook Trout opener. All fish were released except for 3 which took the hook a bit too deep! (how long before I get asked or PM'ed where we were fishing? ) Dutchy has some more pics which he'll add on to the post but here's the ones from my camera....

 

Dutchy's 1st Brookie

He got 6 on Friday which is pretty respectable for a first timer

 

Here's a few of the 10 I got on Friday (BTW That's a 1000 sized reel for scale and a #4 Panther Martin)

 

Dutchy's 1st drift on Saturday in the rain produced this beast...

 

I ended up with around 25 on a rainy, windy Saturday with a few 4"ers and some around the average 8-10" only a few were big enough for a pics..

Insert Dutchy's camera pics here!

 

After a slow and rainy start to Sunday with a few small guys each, Dutchy headed out around 3pm and I checked out a little creek with the flyrod...

Ended up with 4 little guys on the fly rod on a stretch of creek I've never fished before (I'll be back!!)

Here's a nice little waterfall I happened across while being lazy and driving around some backroads( and not fishing )

 

All in all a great weekend! can't wait til next year
