frozen-fire Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Since the weekend kept us inside, MJL and myself agreed it was a MUST to head out today. The forecast showed that today would be the best looking day to be outside fishing compared to the rest of the week. After work, we met up at the destination and walked to the water with rods in hand. We saw LOTS of fish rising to the surface to take bugs off the surface. This got us excited! It wasn't long before I hooked into my first brookie ever. Not a big fish, but it was very satisfying trying something new and having it work out! As we walk the creek, we continue to catch lots of smaller fish. The sun starts to set and we decide to head back to the cars. On the way back, MJL hooks into a nice one. Then, another one... He proceeds to pull out one of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen in Ontario. An absolutely gorgeous specimen!

We need your DSLR ...Brookies are some of the most challenging subjects I've ever taken pics of...1/2 chrome, 1/2 kaleidoscope of colours and they never sit still for very long
steelhead197 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Absolutely amazing pics!! It really looks like you took extra caution when handling the fish! Nice job!! Great report!
Dutchy Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Brookies are really cool looking fish. Nice report.

BillM Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Awesome fish boys!!! Make sure you let those beauts go!!
Rattletrap2 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Absolutely beautiful fish guys! Mind if I ask what you were using to catch them?
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Wicked day! I grew up stream fishing brookies on our family property, and it's still a favourite way to spend an afternoon. I was out on streams on the weekend. Watch out for the blackflies!!
rock34 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Gentlmen....... Thanks for sharing. Those are true beauties.
Victor Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Hey Vic...When are you coming back? We need your DSLR ...Brookies are some of the most challenging subjects I've ever taken pics of...1/2 chrome, 1/2 kaleidoscope of colours and they never sit still for very long I'm back on the night of June 3rd, which means I'll be good to go on June 4th !!! Aren't you guys using Ant's? You should just do bursts, take multiple pics all in short period of time and I'm pretty sure one out of many would be nice.
MJL Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Absolutely beautiful fish guys! Mind if I ask what you were using to catch them? Spinners...But hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get one on the dry fly. I'm back on the night of June 3rd, which means I'll be good to go on June 4th !!! Aren't you guys using Ant's? You should just do bursts, take multiple pics all in short period of time and I'm pretty sure one out of many would be nice. We took the pics with my FZ18. Somebody dropped his lady’s camera into the river one day this spring and had to loan the DSLR to her… I always have my camera set to do continuous shooting…It’s just not all that great in low light. Actually my camera is notorious for being quite noisy in low light due to the small sensor size. Looks like I'll be saving up for a Nikon D3
MCTFisher9120 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Posted May 14, 2010 wow, nice job. loved the pictures of those beauties A Atlantic? O my!!
ehg Posted May 14, 2010 Report Posted May 14, 2010 Those brook trout are beauts. Sure beat creek chubs for fighting and aesthetics.
