Rod Caster Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) I mapped out a few back-road brookie lakes yesterday and without a GPS me and my gf drove up some "trees-closing-in-on-you" trails. It turned out be a series of unfortunate events. My truck is scratched to bits, I blew a tire and my lure caught on a tree as I was driving...completely spooled me. We never made it to any lakes so we turned around and came back home. Today, we returned, better prepared. Since my truck was already scratched, I now had nothing left to lose. We parked about one kilometer before the lake and walked the rest of the way. Turns out I could have driven in, but the walk was nice. It was a beautiful, small lake, with fallen trees and marsh all along the banks. With some clever tactics I found a few casting spots and managed to get..... perch. There were many perch along the whole shorline and some were fair-sized. After I realized that I would only catch perch we just carried on with the hike and had a nice lunch. We were out for nearly 5 hours. On the way back we stopped at a stocked lake and caught one brookie and a few perch. Just a little guy, so I let him live. Now I'm tired, make that completely bushed, so it's off to bed soon and I'm hoping for some superior steelhead in the next few days as I travel that way for work.

Rod Caster Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I meant, out towards Redbridge or Chisholm.... haha sorry, that was a bit tongue in cheek on my part. Past Redbridge but before Diver, on the south side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike01 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I was out in Chisholm last week. Saw a couple of fish but I started to rain pretty hard so we called it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
