Danubian Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Hello everyone! I haven't posted anything in long time, because of me not fishing as much as I should and also for not carrying a camera with me. But yesterday I made a dent in all this, by putting my day off to a better use, so fishing gear in hand and camera in my pocket, at 8:30 am I was wetting my line. It's been an epic 5 hours, bugs tearing me a new one, but also constant action. I landed over 20 brookies and lost about 10 more -of course those were the largest... Most of the fish caught -and released to fight another angler- were small but such beautiful little jewels! The only insect that didn't draw blood. My little companions...
Rod Caster Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Little beauties indeed! Now that is a great day off.

The Iris is a invasive Asiatic species, that is becoming more prevalent and not welcome at all. Like the dreaded purple loosestrife and hogsweed, it is an garden plant escapee from the popular garden ponds that are in vogue. edit: http://www.invasiveplants.ab.ca/Downloads/FS-YellowFlagIris.pdf http://www.saanich.ca/living/environment/pdf/invasive/yellow-flag-iris-alert-web.pdf http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biodiversity/problemplants/species/Yellow%20Iris.htm Edited June 18, 2011 by dave524
Mike Pike Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 A great way to spend the day, even with the bugs! Bush fishing requires repellent. I never leave without it! Congratz on the nice brookies!
